PAGE THREE
Set For Rush
Frats
By RAY GRIFFIN
In a week or so Formal Rush
will begin. This is the time when
men who are interested in the
Greek System become
acquainted with the various
Fraternities.
There are many advantages to
the Greek system. Among the
things one gains from
fraternities is the ability to
develop confidence in yourself,
and the ability with this
confidence to go out and promote
an idea and-or yourself. In other
words, a Fraternity can let you
realize your own potential
because you are in a diversified
group and you are competing
with other groups.
It is common knowledge that
ACC is a suitcase college.
Because of this there is virtually
no social life on campus on the
weekends and not much
throughout the week. Thus, the
Fraternities provide a major
social outlet for its members.
Each group has its own parties
and gatherings according to
their own design. There are also
formal socials in the Spring,such
as the Carnation Ball of the
Delta Sigs and the Orchid Ball of
Sigma Pi.
Another important tiling to
know about the fraternity
system is that their academic
average is higher than the
overall male student average.
This is due to four reasons:
fraternity ideals, fraternity life,
thelFC Scholarship Trophy, and
academic probation.
Athletics also plays an
important part in fraternity life.
Through intramural sports the
Greeks compete among
themselves. This helps to build
up pride in the Brotherhood and
it stimulates further competition
among the various groups in
other activities.
But the most important thing
to look for during Rush is the
Brotherhood itself. Look at the
group as a whole and then look at
the individual members. Ask
yourself these questions: Is the
Brotherhood really a
Brotherhood’’ Do the members
stick together and strive for the
promotion of their group?
Remember this, a true
brotherhood creates a fraternity
that has understanding and
smooth unified action. It grows
on brotherhood.
There are four fraternities on

late applicants.
One particular source of
concern for many ACC students
who have depended upon part-
time work as a major con
tribution toward their college
expenses has been the en
forcement by HKW of touglK'r
guidelines for tlw COLLEGE
Work study Program. Once a
student receives a financial aid
p;ickage which contains federal
dollars, that student is limited in
Campus. Delta Sigma Phi,
Sigma Pi, Sigma Phi Epsilon,
and Alpha Sigma Phi. I strongly
urge every man on campus to go
through Rush. Visit the various
houses during the Smokers and
get to know ttW Brothers. Rush is
truly worth going through, so
don't miss it. You won’t regret it.
the total amount of funds
available from the college. Tlie
limit is derived for each in
dividual student from in
formation supplied on the
Parents' Confidential Statemet,
a form usikI by the College
Scholarship Service as a Needs
Analysis System.
Once a limit of compensation
is determined for each
individual student, tliat limit is
not to be exceeded by loai\s,
grants, scholarships or part-
time employment if the student
is receiving any federal funds at
all. For example if a student's
iK'ed is projected to be $1200 and
Ih> receives a $(>00 loan, $200
scholarhhip. the most that can
be earned on campus is $4lK) or
an average of eight hours per
WtH'k.
Students not receiving any
financial assistance involving
federal funds are not affected by
these guidelines.
