nine acceptances this is about where we were last year and we should be able to fill the house by bid day i don't thi nk that we will participate in post rush the only way we will is if we don't fill

changes phi gamma delta fraternity has given out 14 prebids and has had nine acceptances according to rush chairman howie butterman 90 but terman said overall rush has gone well but it is going in waves with a group of people accepting their bids and then a dry spell and then another group accepting their bids we probably won't give out post bids just because we expect to fill the house by bid day other houses may have to post rush but i really don't know butterman said at chi psi fraternity brian hayduk 90 said rush was going extremely well despite the shortened time dur ing which to meet people he didn't have any complaints with the new rush rules but he did feel the time was just too short our open house was really big and since the rush period is shorter we don't have as much time to meet people it's also harder with football we have had to concentrate all of our activities between monday and wed nesday and we've probably cut a lot of really nice guys randomly whom we just didn't get the chance to meet hayduk said hayduk also said post rush will help a lot of houses who just weren't able to fill up but that chi psi probably wouldn't use it the final verdict on this year's rush won't be available until after the post rush period but until then everyone will just have to wait baker said we haven't had any major complaints and that makes my job easier we just have to wait and see how everything goes i hope that everyone who goes through rush is happy with their choice there is a house for everyone their quota houses also appear to be complying with the dry rush rules and the other new rules which are in effect many houses have planned activities to encourage the rushees to meet the brothers these activities range from the traditional monday night football and baseball playoff functions to the the more non-traditional activities such as bowling casino nights and comedians i hope that everyone who goes through rush is happy with their choice there is a house for everyone " kevtn baker 89 ifc rush co-chairman there have been a few complaints about houses not following the guidel ines but so far no one has been willing to press charges until someone does press charges nothing can be done about the infractions the shorter rush period does not houses report rush on schedule prebid number at same level this time last year what's inside sports head
