ContinuedRevisions Members pleased with return to one-week commitment Round four wasanother visitation round in whichthe prospec– tive members visited the upperclassmen in an effort tonarrow their options. Thestudentswere invited tovisit four clubsduring this round. On October 16, the prospective clubmembers voted in their dorms at curfew, prioritizing their top four choices. Votingwas another change in the procedure; lastyear, it seemedthatmany students forgot to or could not go to the Student ServicesOffice to vote during businesshours. RA's helped freshmen and trans– fers fill out their ballots and then the votes were given to student services. The new students' first-choice cards were later given to respective club presidents, and the clubs once again voted on their new members. Bids were presented to the new class II members by their resident assistants on Sunday afternoon, October 29. The op– tional welcome receptionswere held immediately following the distributionofbids and theweek-long commitmentphase began that evening withan orientationmeeting. Excitement for the return of the week-long commitmentphase was obvious among all students. Ellen Fowler, Kappa Gamma Epsilon member, said, "Last year's commitment phase seemed almost more trouble than itwas worth. I'mglad to see the return of the one-week process." - Katy White GATA First row: HeatherAmos, Claudia Pena Adrianne Goodson, Christy Hutson, Stephanie Buttrum, HeatherCrocker, Cheryl Cox.
