Sorority Rush ‘94 ended Sat-
ay with a record 543 women
dging one of the 11 A&M
rities.
'anhellenic President Carrie
er said this year’s record
;nout of rushees and pledges
eded most sororities’ expec-
e have 681 women rushing
year,” Beyer said. “That’s
rushees than we’ve ever
in theipast.”
,ush Chairwoman Jennifer
vez said she credits publicity
the increased interest in
M sororities.

n the past, notice was sent to
Photo by stew#|inen once they signed up for
orientation conference. This
r, however, information was
omatically sent to all incom-
freshmen and transfer stu-
its, she said.
We sent information to every
tale that had been admitted

speak with the women about
joining a sorority.
“We were a big part of the ori
entation conferences this year,”
Chavez said. “That gave people
a chance to talk with us and ask
questions to see what we were
all about.”
Beyer said she believed that
the women rushing were pleased
with the system this year be
cause fewer women dropped out
of rush week than in the past.
“These women have had very
open minds,” Beyer said. “We
also have great rush counselors
to help them along the way.”
Chavez said the rush coun
selors have helped limit the
number of withdrawals from
rush week this year.
“They’re a friend and a help
ing hand to the women rushing,”
Chavez said. “They’re very well
trained this year and important
in meeting our goal of a success
ful rush.”
Also, the A&M Alpha Gamma
Delta chapter, which closed last
year, will reopen in October and
hold their own rush at that time,
Chavez said.
“That’s what we like to see —
a growing Greek system,”
Chavez said.
Chavez said the sororities have
also tried to cooperate more with
the community this year.
“Since interest is increasing,
we’re trying to cut down on the
amount of traffic around the
houses,” Chavez said.
Two buses from A&M’s Park
ing, Transit and Traffic Services
were used to transport rushees
from the Post Oak Mall parking
lot to Athens Street. The buses
ran continually from two hours
before the rush parties began
each night until each rushee was
returned to her car.
Mall security was also used to
ensure the women’s safety,
Chavez said.
“We’re trying to be friendly to
the community,” Chavez said.
“We know traffic has been a
problem in the past, and we’re
trying to cut down on it.”
Lanita Hanson, coordinator of
Greek affairs, said the sororities
will try to be good neighbors.
“The changes that were made
this year have completely allevi
ated any problems we had,”
Hanson said. “I imagine that
the changes will be continued in
the future.”
Chavez said she agrees.
“We’re exceptionally pleased
with how rush has gone this
year,” Chavez said. “We’ve
handled any situation that’s
come up.”
