Panhellenic serves ice cream to sorority-interested freshmen

Rose-Hulman Panhellenic Council held an ice cream social on The Patio on Sunday from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. The event was part of their fall 2007 pre-recruitment effort and attracted approximately 30 women. Junior chemistry major Ashlee Brewer stated, “The social and the ice cream were fan-freakin-tastic!” Panhellenic president senior biomedical engineering major Sami Dick continued, “The ice cream social and other pre-recruitment events are an excellent opportunity for freshmen women to meet actives in each sorority and get to know them in a relaxed environment.”

This year Panhellenic has chosen a variety of pre-recruitment events. The events included a booth at the activities fair, tie-dyeing, the ice cream social, an information night, a game and homework help night, and button night. These events are structured so that interested women may become familiar with Greek women before recruitment begins. “It’s really great to get to know the new Rose women and welcome them to our school,” stated junior chemical engineering major Monica DeFazzio.

This year’s Panhellenic has chosen to become more active on campus than those in the past. They have formed a mud volleyball team, nominated a homecoming queen candidate, and entered the homecoming cheer and banner contest. Senior chemical engineering major Mandy Ferrell exclaimed, “I think it’s going to be a great year for Panhellenic!”
