Published by Chi lota Chapter of Phi Gamma Delta New Series Vol. XXVIII 1-F Council Revises CHAMPAIGN, ILLINOIS, MARCH 1964 No. 3 EVERYONE OUT FOR PIG DINNER Rush Procedures The Interfraternity Council has passed a bill which calls for dis tinct changes in the fraternity rush program. This act became neces sary when the University refused to guarantee housing for the rushees during the traditional fall rush period. Informal rush will remain the same as in the past, taking place during the year from late Septem ber to mid-November and from early February to late March. Alt so, formal rush at the start of the second semester will remain un changed and is mostly for the bene fit of transfer students. Radical changes in the program include an informal-formal rush week in early December, which is open to all men on campus. The rushee will visit eight houses the first four days, four houses the next two days, make his final se lection, and find out the results on the last day. High School Rushing May 15 Another new step is a formal May rush (May 15-17) from which the fraternities expect to get most of their pledges. The program is Sunday, April 19, 1964! open to all boys in high school who have been accepted by the University and to all rnen on cam pus.
