OKLAHOMA Rush season began the fourth week of sch ool and lasted t v:o At the Panhellenic Meeting it was decided that each sororit . s~ould give only one big rush party, but as many sma.ll affairs as it mJ.ght choose , Delta Sigma EpsilDn went at it wholesale, having something every afternoon and evening, .except on the ni ghts when the other P gave their formal parties . Tri Sigma started out in the same way, but c~lled a ha.lt after the third day . Pi Kappa Sigma, lilce ourselves , waited a few days before it did anything at all. At no time did it attempt anything elaborate . We had planned a series of very informal parties a t the hora es of several of our members. The se sinple gettogethers afforded us an opportunity to meet and become acquainted with the 8Uests, as would not otherwi3e have been possible. We also gave a weenie ro a st in Young's Canyon; vh ich is a short distance from the campus. Bit by bit we eliminated the less <lesirable girls and c ~ t down our list .· so that at th~ formal party, given at the home of Louise Miller, we were perfectly sure as to just ~he ones that we desired . The house was charmingly decorated with red an·d white flowe rs and ferns and every one precent seemed to r~ally enjoy every moment of the eveninr;. The result of our rushing brought us four acceptances at once, and two procyises, if the consent of the patents could oe secured . The sorority idea is realtivelY,. new here at the school, so people aro not who lly familiar with it at present. Time wi ll change all th~t t, howe ver . The Pi Kappas, the oldest bunch on the campus , got three students and three fo.cul ty members . Delta Si ~ma :ep silon had acceptances from thr ee r students and one faculty membe r . Tri Sigma got five new members , Altogether we are feeling prettJr well satisfied with the results of our efforts . Outside the ·affairs connected with the rus hing season] t1e most deli ghtfu l event ViaS the celebrat io n of Founders' Day. ·;.rh en the idea of keepin the day was first brought up, we decided to gi ve a di~ ne r pv.rty at on e of the big. hotels, but we had not counted on th e unexpe cted opening of a nev.f oil well, and when the night a r r i ved t h ere were such c rowds at the hotels that ' we had to change our pl a ns hurriedly .
