 Campus.











 FRATERNITIES FOR MEN ...
 Forming a large part of social and extracurricular student life at the
University are the 26 national Greek-letter fraternities. These organizations,
which constitute one-fourth of the student body and have a total membership
of well, over 2,000, offer many opportunities to participate in all types of social
athletic, and scholarship functions.
 During Orientation there will be a general information meeting of all men
students who are interested in fraternities here at the University of Florida.
The Inter-Fraternity Council, the governing body of all the fraternities on
campus, will present a program to give an idea of the basis of fraternity
life.
 During this meeting the advantages and responsibilities of fraternity mem-
bership will be discussed. The President of the I.F.C. will also explain rushing
rules that are in force this fall, and the penalties that the fraternity, as well
as the rushee, will suffer for breaking these rules. This forum will be held
in advance of the fraternity rushing program, which starts at 5:00 p.m.,
Thursday, September 17th.
 The I. F. C., composed of one representative from each fraternity, acts as
a sounding board for fraternity problems and opinions. Among other things,
the I. F. C. sponsors Spring and Fall Frolics, the two largest weekends of the
year.
 Each fraternity maintains its chapter house, and the majority of the
chapters have house mothers who reside in the houses. A fraternity row,
located in the southwest section of the campus near the present location of
Flavet III, is planned, and several fraternities have already purchased lots
there and are planning to begin construction of their houses in the near future.
 The national fraternities having chapters at the University of Florida are:
Alpha Epsilon Pi, Alpha Gamma Rho, Alpha Tau Omega, Beta Theta Pi, Chi
Phi, Delta Chi, Delta Sigma Phi, Delta Tau Delta, Kappa Alpha, Kappa Sigma,
Lambda Chi Alpha, Phi Pelta Theta. Phi Gamma Delta, Phi Kappa Tau, Phi
Sigma Kappa, Pi Kappa Alpha, Pi Kappa Phi, Pi Lambda Phi, Sigma Alpha

Kappa Epilson, Theta Chi, and Zeta Beta Tau.
 SORORITIES FOR WOMEN ...
 With 1947, coeducation came to the University of Florida, and with coedu-
cation came sororities. Since the first group of four national sororities was
instated here, several more have been added to Florida Panhellenic's roster
bringing the present total to eleven groups. Following the establishment of
sororities, the Panhellenic Council was organized as a representative body for
the purpose of coordinating sorority rushing, service projects, and social ac-
tivities.
 The Sorority Information Forum, sponsored by the Panhellenic Council,
is for all women students interested in sororities at the University of Florida.
At this time, the President of Panhellenic Council will explain the purposes
