The Topeka girls who go to Wash
burn don't get much attention during
the rushing season because it is al
most foregone conclusion in which
bunch they will land before they en-
roll. The girls who were Owls in high
school almost all go Sigma Delta Psi
and the members of the lambda Alpha
Lambda high school sorority are cap
tured by the Betas. This is not rule
without an exception but it Is near
enough to furnish a good working hy-
pothesis. The out of town girls who
have the proper advance notices. and
look like 1.-The goods" have lot OF
fuss made over them the first weeks
of school by the rival 'sisterhoods.
A Mcpherson girl who entered Wash
burn this year has been the object OF
keen competition. She is pretty and
attractive and both sororities wanted
her. The one that got to her first da-
ted her up for two weeks ahead and
when the second bunch tried to get
little time with her they found that
every minute of her days and nights
was engaged by their rivals. But the
little Misses Wisensteins were not to
be shortchanged that way. They per-
suaded her to give them an evening
and then proceeded to show the new
girl the time of her life. They had
powerful allies in the members OF one
of the frats who opened their chap
ter nous and gave the new girl
party. And when the new girl saw
the remnants of the sorority which had
her in tow that evening all over the
walls of the frat house and when all
three Perfectly Good Rah-Rah boys
talked their heads off in favor of this
same sorority,-why, that settled it, OF
course. She put on their colors that
evening and lived happily ever after
ward. Speaking of the rush
new men at school this year has
newspaper route and what do you
Think? The members of one of the
frats which has been rushing him car
ried his papers for whole week. And
then he pledged to the other frat?
Honest, now. wasn't it a shame to
take the money?
