Romano continued. the only selling point Greeks have is "do you like the brothers in my fraternity." We need to bring out the good t benefits and know where we're going, he concluded. Wendell said there is loo much Greek rivalry in the sense that we are "separate" organizations and the only time Greeks get together is during Greek Week. " We've got to work for the system or it won't survive." said Wendell . Students are looking for more tangible benefits in a Greek organization. Wendell continued. "We ·11 have to impress rushees of Greek benefits more than we have." he said. Several proposals were made on Greek rush and pledging. Romano suggested all pledge classes in the future get together one Monday night during the month at the Science Hall Auditorium and have Curris or someone talk to them about pledge grades. Romano added. "We should expose them to all kinds of speakers. bigots or radicals or anyone with an opinion." Wendell elaborated on a point made by Denny Humrichouser. Polk.
