IFC moves rush sign-up to website

“On the administrative side, it makes things easier,” said senior Tom Califf, IFC vice president for recruitment. “[The recruits] can log in to the system that has all their information.” This program has been used at other schools, but this year is the first time it is being employed at Duke, said IFC President Jay McKenna, a senior. In years past, recruits signed up for each fraternity during first-round visits. The lists were then given to IFC to be compiled and organized. “It’s pretty much all online and computerized,” McKenna said of the new process. “It saves a lot of the actual hours it takes to process everything.” Potential recruits can register for rush on the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life website until the beginning of the recruitment process. In addition to the new computerized system, IFC has also changed the first round of recruitment. “We changed the open houses, which is traditionally the first event, so that the recruits can

The IFC has decided to move recruitment registration to an online format thisyear.

For Duke’s four senior captains, tonight’s season opener is the beginning of their last chance. The group came together four years ago as the Super Six, the nation’s top recruiting class, with near-impossiy ble dreams. Their task was to replace the core of a team that won a national tide in 2001 and had then departed for the NBA yS_ after finishing 314 a year later. They were determined to leave their mark on the Duke program. anc* JJ- [Redick] talked about TONIGHT, 7:30 p.m. Cameron Indoor that freshman year—how we would go to four Final Fours, win a championship,” guard Sean Dockery said. “We were dreaming.

When Hurricane Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast more than two months ago, Kirstin Coleman, then a freshman at Xavier University in Louisiana, packed her bags and headed northeast to Duke. As her friends begin the spring semester registration rush, Coleman wants to to become a permanent student at the university she now calls home—an option that the current undergraduate admissions transfer policy makes impossible. “I’ve made relationships here, friends, and it’s all kind of sad because they’ve brought us here and now they’re saying, ‘Pack your bags and leave,’” Coleman said. “I went through a week of school at Xavier, so really this is all that I know.” Duke Student Government passed a proposal Nov. 9 to revise the current undergraduate admissions policy in SEE TRANSFERS ON PAGE
