For Most A Happy Ending

ush week-1950-brought a period of annual. activity to the R University when some 900 prospective sorority and fratern- ity pledges were on the campus for the September 3-8 festivities. For the sorority rushees, activities began Sunday at 4 p.m. with registration at the women's quadrangle . Sunday evening and Monday were spent in attending open house of each of the 12 sororities. The following three days were filled with rush parties, climaxed Friday by bid house and dinner parties given by the sororities for their new pledges. Fraternity rushees registered in the Union lobby Monday . Preferential breakfasts and parties followed Tuesday morning. Activities ended for the new pledges Friday evening at bid house in the University amphitheater . Numerically, the rushees hit a new high and low this year. Approximately 400 co-eds went through rush week activities-a marked increase over past years-with a total of 309 pledging sororities . Fraternity rush registration dwindled to 425-the lowest since World War 11-with 412 men being pledged to the 23 Uni- versity fraternities. The 1950 pledges found they weren't the only additions to the campus-two sorority houses also made a debut at autumn rush. The Gamma Phi Beta sorority made their initial bid for pledges in a two-story ranch style house of sandstone and red- wood flanked on the southwest by a large patio. Alpha Sigma Phi fraternity is occupying their former home. Next door to Gamma Phi's is the new Alpha Chi Omega so- rority house of brick and stone which brings a touch of modernistic architecture to the campus. The 1950 pledges include : ALPHA CHI OMEGA : Janice McLaughlin, Altus; Nancy Joan Fite, Bristow; Maxine McDuff, Chickasha; Jean Edrington, Happiness so Duncan; intense that it borders on tears, blossoms on the Glenna Mitchell, Frederick; Patricia Sue Callahan, Lind face of pledge Sarah Phillips, as she is welcomed into the fold say ; Karen Dickenson and Henrianna Merriott, Norman ; Jane by her sister, Tri-Delt Pat Phillips, Oklahoma Daily editor.
