These societies maintain houses in which members, and occasionally pledges, Jive, and they form an important part of college life. selecting Fraternities recruit their members by them from the $tudent body. It is not ethical, however, for a student to indicate his desire to join a particular fraternity, but rather he must wait to be asked. Each fraternity considers many men for membership. They learn all they can about everyone and very carefully se lect the ones who seem best suited to their group. These few are extended bids, and the choice of acceptance is left up to the student. The better fraternities are extremely careful their work of rushing (becoming acquainted with prospective is boastful, vulgar, uncouth, members). A student who or overbearing is at once dropped from the list of prospects. The good fraternity is not interested in the awkward, ef feminate, or immoral type of men. Good stnden ts, men with strong moral convictions. and true gentlemen are the men who command attention from fraternities. in A frat.ernity's first important.

The decision to pledge looked. membership to a fraternity is an important step, one which deserves mature deliberation, and the freshman who escapes 46 M I C H I G A N S T A TE C 0 L LE GE the necessity of making this decision is not altogether un fortunate. If you are overlooked in the early rushing, you will probably have another opportunity, even if it is not until your sophomore year. To be a "misfit" in a fraternity is certainly a misfortune. The choice of a fraternity is a serious proposition and it must be faced squarely in the most serious manner. REGULATIONS Pledging and initiation rules, as laid down by the Inter Fraternity Council, should be observed faithfully by all freshmen and other students. These are taken from the Council Constitution and follow: Article IX.-Pledging Section 3. The pledging of a student to a fraternity shall be formally accomplished as follows: Upon invitation of a fraternity to become one of its members, a student shall be required to fill out an application blank supplied by the Council. This blank shall be presented the secretary or the Council and no pledge pin may be issued by the fraternity until the fraternity shall have received a written notice of the secretary's acceptance of the applfoation. to Section 4. No student's name may be dropped from the pledge-roll of any fraternity until the written notification has been sent to the secretary of the Council and the writ ten notice of its acceptance bas been i·eceived by the fra ternity from whose pledge-roll the name is to be taken. Section 5. No student may be pledged to any fraternity until seven days have elapsed since the official opening of classes. S-ection 6. No student whose name bas been dropped from the pledge-roll of any fraternity may be pledged to any other fraternity until six months have elapsed since his release, without the written consent of the releasing fraternity. S T U D E N T H A ND B' 0 0 K 1 9 3 1 - 3 2 47 Article X.-Initiation Section 1. The executive committee shall supervise the initiation of the students Into fraternities according to the following regulations : (1) Each candidate for initiation shall have earned at least a "'C" average in his college work for the term or terms of the current college year immediately preceding initiation. (2) Regular initiations shall be held the second week of the winter term. The period shall not begin before 5 p. m. of the Tuesday of initiation week and sh.all not exceed 72 hours in duration.

Such initiations are subject to the same restrictions as regular initiations and such additional re strictions as the Council may impose. (4) Rough-house, and vulgar, indecent, or dangerous practices are forbidden. (5) No requirements of candidates may be made which interfere with regular study hours or college duties, or which involve either physically or nervously exhausting tasks. (6) No requirements may be made or candidates which shall take the initiate out or the fraternity house or grounds or be of such a character as to attract public attention, except a single hunt or search which must be confined to the Friday night of initiation week. SUGGESTIONS A few suggestions, principally of a negative nature, should be helpful to freshmen and these follow: (1) Don't allow yourself to become pledged to a fra ternity without the proper procedure, as outlined here, or before Monday, October 5. (2) Don't forget that good grades are necessary before you earl:' be initiated into any fraternity. (3) Don't hesitate to find out all you can about State fraternities. 4g M I C H I G A N S T A T E C 0 L L E G E (4) Don't stay overnight in a frate1·nity house until after you have been pledged. (5) Don't participate in any secret agreement on fra ternity matters. (6) Don't Jose your head when a fraternity approaches you. (7) Don't be attracted to a fraternity because of its "big times' 'or "large talk." (8) Don't pledge to a group in which you will be a "mis fit." (9) Don't be misled. When thP time comes for you to state your choice of fraternities. be wise, look at things squarely and from all sides. Be careful to join the group in which you can be most happy.
