A^ggielife e Battalion Rush Continued from Page 3 Amy Evans, a freshman bio medical science major who partic ipated in rush convocation, said she was very excited about rush week. “No one in my family has ever been in a sorority before,” Evans said. “I’m really open-minded and excited to be here and to meet a lot of people.” After convocation, the women are divided into groups and introduced to their Rho Chis, trained rush coun selors who help the participants. The Rho Chis are there for the women through out the rush process and will stay with them as long as needed if they did not re ceive a bid or the bid they wanted. Karen Barger, 1998-’99 rush chair and a senior majoring in teacher certification, said the Rho Chis and the members of the Pan- hellenic Council, are unaffiliated with their chapters during rush preparation so they can give par ticipants a fair chance during rush. “The Rho Chis have been in training since February or March and are trained pretty extensively to handle the women,” she said. Barger said many of the women are vulnerable during the rush process because it is the first col lege experience for many of them. “For a lot of them, it’s a family thing and a lifetime commitment, and it doesn’t always work out the way they want it to,” she said.

He is a she-male chasing, family film icon. Dolittle is a modern take on “the talk to the ani mals” tale. The movie will be enjoyed by the younger crowd, not those who were raised on Murphy’s antics of old. Audiences should hope RuPaul does not co-star in his next film. >f Mu la i THE UGLY animation, cross-dresses b singly, Eddie Mi pet dragon.
