SOCIAl, CLUBS
McMurr\ Unixersity has social clubs (fraternities and sororities) for men and women. The
primary goals of the social clubs are high scholarship, leadership, friendship, wholesome social
activities, and the development of individual responsibility. Social club membership opens the
door to the enjoyment and responsibility that comes from active participation in all areas of
University life. The close friendships made during the University years are those which last
far beyond graduation and the boundaries of the campus.
During late fall and early spring semester, the social clubs have a period known as a "rush"
to secure new members. During a series of planned events, interested students are given an
opportunity to become acquainted with other club members. TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR MEM-
BERSHIP, ONE MUST BE A FULL-TIME STUDENT, HAVE ATTENDED McMURRY AT
LEAST ONE SEMESTER AS A FULL-TIME STUDENT (12 semester hours), AND HAVE

concerning any aspect of rush and/or social clubs may be obtained from the Student Affairs
Office.
