"Rushed" in the spring?

Recruitment for sororities has begun Friday, Feb. 13 and will come to a close this coming Thursday. Only four sororities held recruitment parties this spring. Phi Sigma Sigma had all of their rush parties over the weekend, while Alpha Gamma Delta, Alpha Omicron Pi, and Zeta Tau Alpha decided to have theirs lead into the week.

"This spring rush is more informal than it has ever been," said Assistant Membership Recruitment Chair Erika Flerx. "It was hardly advertised and many people weren't even aware when the parties would take place since they are all on different days."

Phi Sigma Sigma and Alpha Omicron Pi had their rush parties in the University Union, while the other two sororities decided to take their potential new members off campus. Zeta Tau Alpha had one of their parties at Fairways Apartments and Alpha Gamma Delta held a rush event at Bill Bateman's. Spring rush always differs from the more popular and very crowded fall recruitment, but this spring's was much more inconvenient.
