WE CANT STOP
It may be August, but summer only ends if you let it. Some tan lines never fade and some short shorts never go out of styleunless you pair those short shorts with Ugg bootslike, I cant! Aside from summer fashions and tans, I would like to talk about the art of being a Bobcat. We are the kids your parents warned you about. I believe that statement is true because I believe every Bobcat has a summer spirit. You know, that spirit that wants to drink every day, fall in love with everything humanly possible and, I dont know, wear short shorts with Uggs. Werk it, twerk it, keep that spirit alive, because whether we want school to start or not, it is going to start. However, school will not/cannot keep us fromgoing to happy hour. La da di da di, we like to party. Let the Miley song play on, and let summer 2013 last forever! Welcome Back, Bobcats!

THE BEST IN TEXAS SHARE THEIR STORIES, PLANS AND WORDS OF WISDOM FOR RUSH
COMPILED BY: SAM SUMPTER

MICKEY BARTON:
PRESIDENT, ZETA TAU ALPHA
What are your contributions to your sorority? I have served as Alumnae/Collegiate Relations Chairman, Ritual Chairman, and now am lucky enough to be President. I have learned so much from these experiences. All my sisters are such blessings. How are you inuential within your campuss Greek community? Being president, I get to meet a lot of people in the Greek community, and have a strong relationship with advisors of both my own sorority and the Panhellenic advisor. I also am part of Order of Omega, and have assisted with Greek Week and many other activities they plan, which helps you meet successful and driven members of the other Greek groups, both men and women. What would members of your sorority say about you? ey would say I am a good leader because of my respect for them and others as well. I respect them, and in turn, I have earned respect over the years. I also know how to have a good time with all of them in a responsible way. I am a good communicator as well, which helps people understand my most in uential decisions. Sororities struggle with change, and we have gone through lots of it recently. I hope they would say it has been a little easier to get used to because of my leadership. What are your plans for your chapter this year? My plans for the sorority this year are, rst and foremost, to work hard and recruit the best girls coming to Texas State this fall. We are growing so much as a university, and these new members are going to make up a huge portion of us. After this, I want to lead all the girls in a direction of personal success. I want every individual member to strive to be a better person in all areas of life.

PERLA MOLINA: Fundraising Chair, Zeta Tau Alpha

What are your contributions to your sorority? As a member of Zeta Tau Alpha, I am highly involved in all the di erent activities that we do. One of the major roles I play in my sorority is raising awareness for breast cancer. Coming from a family that has had many women pass because of breast cancer, I am highly motivated to raise awareness and make a di erence in the lives [of ] many young women and men. What would members of your sorority say about you? One of the things I know they would say is that I am a loyal sister. In every situation and position that I am in, I make it a point to treat others how I would like to be treated. ey would also say that I love to be the center of attention and LOVE to make people laugh. e person the probably nds me the funniest is myself. Ha! What would you say is your greatest accomplishment? I would have to say it is the simple fact of who I am today. Not only graduating in 3 years with a 4.0, but also managing a fulltime job and a sorority while keeping a social life as well as a family life. at would have to be one of my greatest accomplishments. What are your plans for your chapter this year? My plans for Zeta for the school year 20132014 would be to raise money for our philanthropy, breast cancer education and awareness. And to make our pink-out events even bigger and let the community know that they can make a di erence in nding a cure! What comes to mind when you think of rush? An OVERWHELMING feeling of joy! I have the honor to meet many amazing girls while bonding with my sisters and making memories that will last a lifetime.

ASHLEY CHILDS: Vice President of Membership, Zeta Tau Alpha

What are your contributions to your sorority? I am the Recruitment Chair. I have to plan, budget and make Recruitment a success! We have hundreds of potential new members and I have been so busy deciding out ts, designing sets and decorations and making sure our Chapter is prepared for the new girls that will eventually be our sisters! What would members of your sorority say about you? at I am a leader that respects them fully! I know how to have a good time but also when to get down to business. What are your plans for your chapter this year? I have a ton of plans to change recruitment up this year! I want our chapter to value Recruitment and realize that this is how we get our future sisters. I plan on making the process more conversation-based so we can really get to know our new members. What comes to mind when you think of rush? As the VP of Recruitment for my sorority, there are a million things that come to my mind about Recruitment. After thinking about the to-do lists and time we all put in to recruitment, I love to remember that we are doing all this work to get new amazing sisters. Whats your favorite part of being in a sorority? ere are so many things I love about being a part of Greek life. If I had to pinpoint one speci c part I love, it would de nitely be the sisterhood. All of my sisters are so special and important in my life, and I am so blessed to be a part of Zeta! What advice would you give girls going through rush? is will sound totally clich, but be yourself ! You will end up at the right house in the end if you stay true to who you are.

RANDRICK WASHINGTON: President, Phi Beta Sigma

What are your contributions to your fraternity? I am currently the only member a part of the Mu Rho chapter of my fraternity. I rechartered the chapter in the spring of 2012. Since I am the only member as of now, I do everything on the UT campus for the fraternity. I have guidance and help [from] my advisor who is a part of the graduate chapter in Austin. How are you inuential within your campuss Greek community? I am a leader in the Greek Community. Although I am the only Sigma on campus, I still strive to uphold the principles my founders founded the organization upon: Brotherhood, Scholarship, and Service. Since we are a service organization, I host many service events on campus. is past school year the Mu Rho chapter, which was chartered at UT in 1980, was recognized as the Best Black Greek Male Organization by the African American Studies Department. is shows that our organization prides itself on doing quality work and not focusing on just the amount of members. What would you say is your greatest accomplishment? Receiving the Collegiate of the Year award from the Graduate Chapter of Phi Beta Sigma. What advice would you give guys going through rush? I would tell them to not rush into anything, no pun intended. Being a part of a fraternity is hard work so choosing the right one is important. e biggest advice I can give is to do research! What are your plans for your chapter this year? My plans for this year are to increase membership and continue to embody Culture For Service and Service For Humanity, the motto that our founders founded the organization upon.

MORGAN ODOM: Chapter Life

Vice President, Alpha Xi Delta
What are your contributions to your sorority? In 2013 I was o ered the position of Chapter Life Vice President, which is my current position for the Beta Alpha chapter. My job as Chapter Life includes planning all of our date events and sisterhood events, buton a more serious noteI also side as our risk management person. How are you inuential within your campuss Greek community? Being as involved as I have been in Alpha Xi Delta has o ered me a plethora of opportunities in Greek Life as a whole at UT. As the coordinator of all of our date events, I get to plan events that my sisters choose who to bring to. I may be a little partial to my own awesome date events, but I would de nitely say fratties want to attend them. I know I get asked to my own date events so guys can guarantee their spot at our formal or our infamous Crush. What would members of your sorority say about you? If you ask the girls I have not only been so lucky to call my sisters, but also my best friends, they will tell you Im the crazy girl that will wake them up in the middle of the night to ask if they want to go to San Antonio just to get away from the stress of school. But regardless, I think they will unanimously agree that I am probably one of the [people] most dedicated and passionate about bettering not only our chapter, but Alpha Xi Delta nationally. What advice would you give girls going through rush? BE YOURSELF. Every girl is nervous, but ultimately everyone is placed in a sorority that they will t right in to! So wear comfortable shoes, stay hydrated, and enjoy recruitment, because in the end, the sisterhood will all be worth it!

Philanthropy Chair, Delta Delta Delta

What are your contributions to your sorority?

10 SIGNS IT MIGHT BE RECRUITMENT SEASON

WORDS: TSM WRITER, EDITOR & CONTENT MANAGER AKA HOT PIECE OF TSM

HOW TO NOT COME OFF AS A TRY-HARD DURING RUSH

WORDS: TFM WRITER, EDITOR & CONTENT MANAGERAKA BACON

Your body is literally going through alcohol withdrawal Or your ass is literally going to standards. The only things youve ingested are coffee, Red Bull, and pixie sticks Sleep is for the weak. So is food. There is glitter in your car, in your shower, and in your bed But miraculously, when you get to the house, there is still more glitter there. You feel like if you meet one more communications major, you might actually become stupider *More stupid. Your Facebook stalking has reached a new level So has your ability to pretend that when a person tells you something about herself, you have not already read it somewhere on the internet. Youre learning it for the rst time. It is painful to talk because your voice is so hoarse Whether its from singing, chanting or bitching, if you dont sound like youve been chain-smoking since 94 by the end of it, youre doing recruitment wrong. The seniors have become this rare and horrifying breed of banshee After all, if youre not jumping at least three inches off the ground, you wont get THE HOTTEST PLEDGE CLASS EVER. Walking on glass might have done less damage to your feet than your shoes did this week But you are under 57, so blisters or not, you can not switch to atsthat would only make you four inches uglier. Your relationship with your sorority is at an all-time high Your relationship with your favorite fraternity is at an all-time low. You nally feel complete, only when you welcome 64 beautiful babies into their new home And subsequently have to spend over an hour welcoming them home via social mediabut in the end, its all worth it.

2 3 4 5

Be yourself, but do DONT TRY TO PROVE nt be a tryhard. This....just dont. YOURE COOL When talking to members of a house theyre interested in, rushes have a tendency to want to prove themselves. Since they often cant do so with any actual actions on the spot, they end up telling lame stories about how much they drank at a high school PHOTO: TFM party or something. Were about as impressed that you took seven Jaeger bombs at a prom after party as we are that you got a hole in one at a mini-golf course. I once had a rush tell me the reason he was a virgin is because his dick was too big for high school girls. That kid was not extended a bid, and if I could have, I would have expelled him from the university.

6 7 8 9 10

DONT ACT LIKE YOU KNOW EVERYTHING If an active is telling you something about the house, or about Greek Life, dont interrupt with an oh yeah I know or thats what I heard. Even if you DID hear that, its an annoying thing to hear when trying to inform someone of something, and what you heard was probably wrong anyway. Yes, the houses want cool kids, but they also want kids they can shape. Know-itall rush generally equates to annoying pledge. This note sort of doesnt apply to legacies, sort of. DONT TALK ABOUT ALL THE FRATTY CLOTHES YOU OWN If someone brings it up, sure, ne, whatever. Still, chatting about your closet with a bunch of dudes is awkward and makes you seem, at best, like a try-hard. DONT TRY TO ASSERT YOUR DOMINANCE Obviously youre incapable of doing this to the actives, who are all ten times the man you are at this point, lowly rush. However, I mean dont sit there and rip on geeds all day. If you have something funny to say about a drum circle, go for it; everyone likes a good hippie joke. However, sitting there saying those geeds are lame, these geeds are lame, makes you sound like a high school girl. Also, youre still technically a geed, so shut up. DONT TRY TO OUT-DRINK ANYONE When you nd yourself at a rush party, have a good time and get drunk, but dont treat it like a competition. Youll just end up being the drunkest guy at the party, and probably end up looking like an asshole. The chances that you do something funny compared to the chances that you do something absolutely stupid and embarrassing are not in your favor.

5 SIGNS YOU NEED NEW PLEDGES

PHOTO: NONSEQ

Life without DDs blows

LookI dont blame you. Some bars are way too fucking far away to handle without a friendly neophyte driver to get you on your way. Dealing with public transportation is about as fun as dogging out a disgruntled elephant seal, and cab drivers might as well have Im going to screw you written across their foreheads. Nothing beats a pledge chauffeur, and as long as they dont drive a piece of shit, youll be riding in style.

PHOTO: VAUVAU

Youre tired of pouring your own beers

Call me crazy, but I think the sweet taste of a pledge-poured beer has no equal. Granted, lifting twelve ounces for a few seconds isnt exactly the toughest job in the world, but when you have the option to free yourself from that labor, you have that much more time to hit on a clueless freshman gal who doesnt even know her major yet.

PHOTO: ABBAMOUSE

Your common areas look like a natural disaster rolled through

Those few months a year without pledges are typically the most physically destructive on the fraternity house itself. Holes with no explanation show up on nearly every wall in the houseIt inevitably takes a few more months than usual to throw away those late night Jimmy Johns wrappersYou might even see an old, half-eaten pizza that appears to be growing an entire civilization of mold upon its once golden crust. Some may say were just lazy for not cleaning when no pledges are around, but screw that. Were not lazy; we just know how to make the most efcient use of our efforts. We all eventually have pledges again, and they need to earn their keep somehow, after all.

Your car is starting to look a little dirty, and it isnt going to clean itself
Cleaning a car ranks right between shaving daily and grinding your nuts against sandpaper on the international shitty-things-to-do scale. While you could always just pay an enthusiastic homeless member of your community to knock it out, the extra sweat and effort that go into a pledges car-cleaning attempts takes your ride to another level.

5
Your shoes are untied
Sure, you could choose not to be a lazy asshole and tie them yourself, but whats the fun in that? Having a new pledge class holds the added bonus of a new set of shoe-tiers and general living room furniture. Wish you had an ottoman to lay your weary Sperrys upon? Theres a pledge for that.

DOS AND DONTS

WORDS BY: TFM WRITER, EDITOR & CONTENT MANAGERAKA ROGER_DORN

Dont Blow It: Increase Your Chances of Landing a Bid

DO take pride in your appearance DONT dress exactly like a stereotypical frat guy
Youll be expected to be dressed like you care, but theyll be turned off if you, as someone who just nished high school, look like you just purchased a TFM starter kit. Keep it subtle.

DO drink DONT overdrink

Alcohol is the ever-present antidote to social awkwardness. Have a drink, relax, and shoot the proverbial shit with the actives. Just make sure you keep it in check. No one likes a sloppy rushee.

PHOTO: BACKYSINGSON

DO talk to as many people as possible DONT try too hard to impress

Youll denitely want to meet and talk to you as many of the fraternity actives as you can, if only for the simple reason of putting a face to name come bid night. Be recognizable, but dont be that guy they remember for being a social try-hard.

DO talk about their fraternity DONT say frat

Be at least conversationally knowledgeable about their fraternity. You dont need to be able to recite their creed or anything, but know about who they are. And dont use frat while youre doing it. Thats a big turn-off to many. Youve heard the old You wouldnt call your country a c***, would you? adage.

PHOTO: D.H. PARKS

DO talk to the girls DONT hit on every girl you meet

Girls will be everywhere. Everywhere. Have fun. BUT, some of them will be the girlfriends of the active fraternity members, so be leery. You dont want to step on any toes of the guys youre trying to impress.
PHOTO: OUTTA_TOUCH

DO have fun DONT not have fun

Fraternity rush is one of the best times youll ever have. Enjoy the shit out of it.

HOW GET KICKED TO... OUT OF A FRAT

WORDS: SAM SUMPTER

Its rush season, and while most guys are desperately trying to get into a fraternity, youre trying to get the hell out of yours. Maybe the prospect of having pledges do all your shit has somehow lost its appeal or the idea of sexy sorority girls in short skirts just doesnt tighten your pants like it used towho knows? Either way, weve compiled ve easy ways to get kicked out and make the transition from fraternity guy to GDI. Yeah, youre welcome.

TRADE POLO FOR YOLO

Its so simple: Stop sporting the popular preppy look and invest in XXXL tees marked up with this totez un-pass acronym. (Bonus points if paired with cargo shorts.)

BADMOUTH YOUR BROS

Talk mad shit about Gregs golf game, Stevens off-brand Sperrys, Prestons less-than-impressive penis and the fact that Brian hasnt banged a babe since 09...all behind their back!

RAT OUT CHEATERS

Travis, I HAD to tell Cindy you slept with Monica! That was so disrespectful and misogynistic of you, dude. Break the bro code? You gotsta go! (And PS: Travis sounds like an asshole.)
