Frats to fight image, stress public service

7bt Kna students wil1 Pbably hear more about the
BI Mile of Pennies this year than ever before.
And they'll probably be inundated with news about
other charitable drives sponsored by UNC's 30
fraternities.
That's because the Interfraternity Council (1FC)
thinks many students have stereotyped fraternity
brothers as be-bopping, beer-drinking bums who do
nothing for anybody but themselves. The 1FC wants to
change that image.

It's a false image, says R. L. Adams, 1FC vice
president for public relations, who insists that the 1 ,400
UNC men who are part of the Greek system make
important contributions to the local community.
In terms of money given to local charities, that
contribution amounts to thousands of dollars. Adams
says.
Fraternities contribute varying amounts to a
number of local charities, including the Orange
County Council on Aging, Campus Chest, the
American Cancer Society and the North Carolina
Burn Center.
So instead of emphasizing things like the annual Phi
Delt Beer Chug and the ZBT All-Campus Party, the
1FC will go all out this year to publicize fraternities'
contributions to local and national philanthropies.
. Adams is quick to note that fraternities themselves
won't change and that they have always contributed to
philanthropies, something usually required by the
national fraternity.
"Fraternities aren't going to change anything,"
Adams says. "We're still going to drink beer and raise
hell. We're still going to have our parties."
These, however, are activities IFC wants to de
emphasize because they contribute to the stereotyped
view of a fraternity member.
"Let's not emphasize the Phi Delt Beer Chug, except
maybe for who won." Adams explains. "Let's
emphasize how much money was donated to charity. It
all boils down to this: The faults of the G reeky system
are sometimes obvious, and the benefits go unseen."
A Daily Tar Heel headline last year, for example,
proclaimed: "Fraternities: Last Bastion of White
Supremacy?" Predictably. IFC officers were upset.
A Chapel Hill Newspaper headline last spring stated
that music at a fraternity court party had broken the
sound barrier, although the story itself reported onl
that police had stopped the music because ol
complaints from neighbors. The story failed to
mention the sound barrier. Adams savs he did not
notice a machine measuring the sound level at the part .
"We're running into a. pretty big problem" Adams
says. "People's minds aren't easy to change. With
freshmen, we feel that if we can make the information
available - accurate information they'll use the
information to make a more accurate judgment ol
fraternities."
Freshmen are the ones most likely to hae that open
mind, a fact that does not escape the IFC. During the
summer, letters were sent to each male freshman to
encourage him to consider fraternity rush.
In the letter. IFC vice president for rush Mark
Merritt noted that "fraternities at Carolina have a
great deal to offer to your personal development "
The opportunities he cited included contact with
people of various interests, backgrounds and lifestyles,
involvement in intramurals. service projects and social
activities, a chance to develop leadership qualities and
a way to save money.
Freshmen also received a letter from IFC adviser
Roslyn Hartmann. an assitant dean in the student
affairs office. She touched on two of what Adams calls
myths which plague fraternities: Ihev are more
expensive than dorm or apartment living, and
fraternity membership hurts grades.
Not so. say Hartmann and Adams. The cost of
fraternity rent and fraternity meals is well below those
same costs in dorms and apartments.

The Interfraternity Council wants to increase student awareness of fraternities'
contributions to the local community, so the IFC will go all out to publicize Greek
sponsored charitable drives. Pictured here are scenes fromthe Chi Psi Valentine's

W BHAYira TOE SYSTEM
This is a book that shows you how
to beat the system. It contains
proven methods that work every
time. Some methods are devious
and some are straight. It also in
cludes hundreds of short tips that
add up to success and superior
grades.
My name is Dale Rich, and I wrote
the book I'm telling you about.
But let me tell you something
about myself. I hold three college
degrees. Two undergraduate de
grees with Honors and a Master's
Degree. I earned each one at a
different college. When I was an
undergraduate, I was on the Dean's
List of Honor Students EVERY
semester. I was chosen to be a
member of my college's National
Honor Society, and I was elected
Treasurer. Before graduation, I
was granted an Outstanding Lead
ership Award for my collegiate
activities.
That's some of my hands on ex
perience from your position. On
the other side, I've taught at a well
known State College. I've prepared
tests and have graded students. In
short, I 've been part of the system
from both sides.
I know how to beat the system
and I've proven it. I'm POSITIVE
you can beat the system too. My
book, GET STRAIGHT A 's IN
COLLEGE BY BEATING THE
SYSTEM, will show you how.
If you're a Freshman, this book is
ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL My
former classmates agree. If we had
this book when we started, we
would have saved hundreds of
hours of wasted study. And we
would have got better grades more
easily.
If you're a Sophomore, Junior, or
Senior, you already know how
tough it was getting there. And
your grades probably reflect the
battle. This book tells you how to
get the grades that will raise your
average. It will also let you stop
beating your head against the wall.
You can get A's easily.
I 'm so Positive you can beat the sys
tem that here's my GUARANTEE.
Try the book for one semester. If
you don't get the grades you want,
return it in any condition. I'll send
you the full purchase price the
same day the book is returned. No
questions asked I
Now, I know some of you still
may not order this book. To you,
all I can say is - I'm sorry. I hope
you make it through college with
whatever grades you can get.
To those of you who order this
book, I say CONGRATULA
TIONS! This may be the wisest
decision of your entire under
graduate career.
Many of my former classmates
would have gladly paid $100 to
make it through some courses. I'm
offering you a book that will show
you how to get superior grades in
all courses for only $10. At this
price, it's cheaper than most of
your textbooks, and it's more
valuable than any of them.
Remember, I'm giving you a
MONEY BACK GUARANTEE.
You must be 1 10 satisfied.
There's no delays in mailing. I
won't wait for your check or
money order to clear the bank, I
trust you. You'll get SUPER
FAST DELIVERY. Your order
will be processed as quickly as
possible. We try to fill all orders
the same day they're received.
Just fill out the coupon and mail
it in.
