Fraternities
From page 4
will also be an added feature this
semester to show appreciation to
all of the fraternity advisers and
alumni, in a low-pressure setting,
an attempt will be made to link
advisers and alumni together in
order to develop leadership.
"Fraternity members are future
leaders and there is a life-long bond¬
ing involved. Being involved with
the fraternity promotes the univer¬
sity," he said.
John Hebert, IFC president, said
that the fraternity has had a better
turnout this spring than last fall.
Success is expected to come with
the upcoming years, if all goes as
planned.
"The key is in taking time to let
people help the undergraduates.
The fraternities represent a wide
diversity of interests that cater to
meeting the needs of everyone,"
he said.
Fraternities and .sororities are
involved with many community
activities such as working with the
March of Dimes and Walk
America, which is scheduled for
May 8.
"Delta Gamma helped to raise
money for the Wolters School for
the Blind. It's true that we have fun
and compete with each other, but
we're going for a better image.
We're coming to the students," he
said.
In a letter to prospective frater¬
nity men, Darren Rose, vice presi¬
dent of IFC programs, commented
that those "who want to attain mem¬
bership In a Fraternity should pre¬
pare for an enlightening and wild
experience to enhance your colle¬
giate career. The"formal Rush be¬
gins on Jan. 31 at 12 p.m. The
Fraternity Forum is your opportu¬
nity to meet the brothers of all the
Fraternities on an informal basis."
According to Fraternity Life in
the Fraternity Rush Manuel, each
fraternity has an active scholarship
and enthusiastic social calender,
but encourages the scholastic de¬
velopment of their peers so that
excellence is attained. The Greek
system is a leader in national aca¬
demics. The chapters involved con¬
sistently have higher grade point
averages than the all-men's aver¬
age at CSUF.
IFC will be hosting the fijrst
"Greek Ditch Day," an all-Greek
party that will be held on April 21.
Perspective Brandon Molale,
sophomore speech communica¬
tions major and offensive guard
for the football team, said that he
sees the fraternity as a place where
he wants to be because its a lot
more than just partying.
"Its a place where a boy can
become a man, or where a good
man can become a greater man.
Being in a fraternity give you the
opportunity to seea different part
of college life. During RUSH, you
make a lifelong decision that will
carry on through the rest of your
life."
He said that it is common knowl¬
edge that students often meet their
best friends in college. He advises
entering freshmen that the frater¬
nity is just not just all party. The
world is full of decisions that a
person has to make and will stay
wjth that person forever. Everyone
should look into fraternities or so¬
rorities.
Perspective Chris Davini, junior
criminology major and fullback for
the soccer team, said that everyone
in a fraternity is nothing but
friendly. The positive part of the
fraternity is the partying, but this
helps to alleviate the pressure of
college life. The best part of a
fraternity is that close friends arc
all around to helpout when needed.
"A fraternity is different from
hig£ school. It gives you the op¬
portunity to relax. There is not as
much seriousness. The negative
part about it is that some people
take it out of perspective and party
too much, they really overdo it,'Tie
said.
