SORORITlFS ADOPT
new REGULATIONS
Greek Letter Societies Plan to
Restrict Frantic Scramble
for Eligible Members
Pan-Hellenic Issues "Ten Com
mandments," Which Set
Campus Agog

BERKELEY, Aug. 27-Radical
changes have been made in the famous
ten commandments of the sororities
of the university and the campus is
wondering whether or not the rush
ing rules of the goods of the Greek
letter societies adopted this year will
be effective. Last year the ten COM
mandments" governing the securing OF
members for the women's Greek letter
organizations worked a radical change
over the disorganized scramble OF the
sororities after eligible girls for their
chapters, as had been the custom in
former years.

for the first three weeks and no coed
could be pledged to a sorority during
this period from the opening of the

increased the agitation and freshmen
women now can be pledged at any time.

planned to supersede the tradition of
former years in the Greek letter soror-
tiles worked well, but in spite OF the
restrictions there was a great deal of
the hurly burly attending the season.
The expense was great and the time
of the goods was mainly taken up, not
with their books. but with dinners.
dances and luncheons TO please the
freshmen eye.
This year a series of thou shalt not"
provisions have been inserted in the
Pan-Hellenic compact and exact defini-
tions of formal and informal affairs is
given that there may be no misunder-
standing in regard to the rushing for
neophytes.
