Rush week was a perfect success. We placed second by pledging 29; we missed first place by one. We may have placed second in quantity, but surely placed first in quality. This year started Gam· rna-Iota's second generation. Jimm y Knight, whose father was a member of Gamma-Iota in 1929, was the first son of an alumnus of Gamma-Iota to be pledged. After the pledging ceremony the new pledges were entertained with a banquet at Grundy's. Homecoming was the greatest ever for Gamma-Iota. The chapter served din ner to approximately 500 alumni and guests before the game with Boston Col lege. After the game an open house was held, and was a huge success.
