Greek letters, flags and
members from the 27 University-
, jlBrecogn^ed fraternities were
gathered on the lawn outside the
Systems Building to welcome the
new pledges into fraternity life.
Dr. Mike Leese, coordinator of
Greek affairs, said this is only the
fifth semester that Bid Day has
been conducted in this fashion. In
the past, rushees would pick up
their bids in a room in the MSC or
Rudder Tower and almost no
fraternity members were present.
Leese said the new Bid House
is working out well.
"This makes fraternities much
more visible," he said. "It's more
high-profile and high-spirited."
Leese said the number of men
going through fraternity rush is
growing.
"We had about 475 men at the
Fraternity Life seminar, which is
P the beginning of rush. Those
numbers are pretty close to the
same when compared to last
semester. But if you look at the

Chris Chambers, president of
Sigma Phi Epsilon, said he thinks
fraternities are building a better
reputation for themselves.
"Greeks are getting a lot more
recognition and respect," he said.
"Bid day was better than ever for
everyone."
Leese said a lot of students are
showing an increasing interest in
fraternity life but for many, it is a
big decision.

"We especially have a lot of
freshmen come out in the fall but
they tend to defer going through
until the spring.
"Of course there were a few
minor problems but overall,
things went very smoothly."
