FURTHER PLEDGING RULES

In preparation for the coming pledging and rushing season which this year comes the second week after Carnival the Interfraternity Council has adopted the following rules in regard to the issuance of invitations during the chinning period.

Article 1 — Dates. Section 1—No verbal dates for any hour during Rushing or Chinning Week shall be made with any first year man. If such are made, they will be considered as having no obligation upon the freshman and as a direct violation of the rules. Section 2 — Invitations shall be issued in two groups at two different times: (a) The first group will include invitations for the Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday nights of Rushing Week; (b) The second group will include invitations for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday nights of Rushing Week. Section 3 — No fraternity can issue an invitation to one man for more than one hour on the same night. In the event that the man has no date for the following hour, a fraternity is at liberty to entertain the man until the hour at which the man has a date. Section 4 — In case two or more fraternities ask a man for the same hour, the choice of dates shall lie with the first year man. The man shall designate to the fraternity whose invitation he does not accept for the hour specified, what hour he can accept for that night. (This will be considered as obligatory as any other date and the fraternity will expect the man at the hour which he designates.)
