Social Clubs Begin
Annual Spring Rush
Members of McMurry's social
clubs are now in the middle of
their annual Spring rush sea-
son which opened last Thursday
night with the Women's Rush
Tea.
All interested girls gathered
in the lobby of the Amy Graves
Ryan Fine Arts Building to meet
with members from the five
women's clubs.
This week each women's club
is holding a separate coke party
for the girls interested in that
specific club. From these each
club will be able to invite 27 to
next week's rush parties.
The girls will then fill out a
preference sheet next Thursday
picking their first and second
choice of clubs. The different
clubs will also turn in preference
lists. Sandy Sullivan of the stu-
dent life office will then match
up the girls with the clubs ac-
cording to these sheets.
On Friday February 3 the
rushees will report to the Stu-
dent Life office to get their bids.
It is up to them to accept or de-
cline the club pledgeship. Each
club can only pledge 16 girls.
The men's social clubs will be
holding smokers next week.
Each club sends out invitations
to male students they are in-
terested in. From those who at-
tend the party each club sends
in a preference list to Bob Gil-
lette men's interclub sponsor.
An area will be designated for
the male rushees to report on
Friday February 3 to get their
bids from the clubs. The male
