Members of Sigma Chi hoist a pledge into the air during Bid Day Fri
day in front of the System Administration Building.
The Battalion
Texas A&M University frater
nities wrapped up the Universi
ty's largest fraternity rush in his
tory Friday with a Bid House in
front of the System Administra
tion Building, Glenn Webb, inter
fraternity council rush chairman,
said Sunday.
500 rushees who received bids
from Texas A&M's 25 fraternities
gathered at the System Adminis
tration Building where IFC mem
bers checked their records to con
firm that they met new IFC rush
regulations.
"Our new policy states that
any fraternity members must be a
student at Texas A&M, and that
returning students must have a
GPA of at least 2.0," Webb said.
After their records were con
firmed, the rushees ran out to
the System Administration
Building lawn and joined mem
bers of the fraternity whose bid
they accepted.
"It was great," said Donald
Eknoyan, IFC internal vice presi
dent. "All the .fraternities were
out, wearing their letters and be
ing proud to be Greeks."
650 students went through fra
ternity rush this fall, which made
it the largest number in Texas
A&M's history.
"Both the big and the small
chapters increased their num
bers," Webb said. "Every chapter
benefited."
Eknoyan attributed the in
crease to the first-ever open rush
forum, which was held in order to
increase overall fraternity mem
bership.
"Our goal with the forum was
to increase the number of men
joining fraternities," he said.
"We thought that by starting
out with the forum our numbers
could go nowhere but up, but we
never expected the incredible re
sponse we received.
"The IFC worked hard to make
this a successful rush, but it's up
to us to continue from here based
on the success of this semester's
rush," Eknoyan said.
"We plan to have an even big
ger and better rush next year."
Gatesville for shooting her vio
lently abusive husband in their
Lufkin area home in 1985.
She was convicted of involun
tary manslaughter.
The abuse and violence began,
she says, a few years after she and
Johnny Wardlow married in 1968
— she was 17, he was 25.
"He drank a lot and was con
stantly going to the bars," Ward-
low recalled.
"He would come home and
start breaking things, especially
things that were important to me.
Then he went from that into phys
ical violence and sexual and men
tal abuse."
She describes the physical vio
lence with an almost clinical cold
ness: the stitches to her chin, the
bruises.
Her voice lowers and her eyes
cloud over when recalling the sex
ual abuse.
"I've laid in bed with guns and
knives," she says.
On Jan. 19, 1985, Wardlow, say
ing she feared that her husband,
Johnny Wardlow, might finally
carry out his longstanding threat
to kill her, leveled a 12-gauge
shotgun at the back of her hus
band's head and killed him.
After serving her time, she
moved to Houston to live with
relatives.
Now out on probation. Ward-
low wants her right to vote and sit
on a jury restored.
She also wants the ability to fill
out a job application without la
beling herself a convicted felon.
And she wants to return to
prison, to counsel other women.
But convicted felons are not per
mitted to visit others in prison.
Today, the assistant retail man
ager speaks to community groups
and the police about her experi
ence in order to increase aware
ness about domestic violence.
"Somewhere down the line we
can put a stop to this or at least let
battered women know that you
don't have to put up with this,"
Wardlow said.
"There are places you can go,
the police officers have to help
you. When my case happened
they didn't help, in fact they were
told don't get involved."
Chuck McDonald, a
spokesman for Richards, said the
governor's staff is expecting to get
Wardlow's clemency recommen
dation soon.
