continued from page 243 Chi Sigma Alpha president senior Mike Parsons said despite the differences from his first club experience, the new members scill gained rhe closeness that came from the process. "We redid everything," Parsons said. "About 60 percent of the things we did when I joined were different, but we decided to never bring up the past in front of the new members. For all they knew, we went through rhe same thing." Parsons said the most difficult part about the new club process was remembering new members were in the club on the first night, rather than at rhe end of the week. "It was hard to get the whole club to change their mindsets that the new guys were already in from the starr," Parsons said. "But it all worked out well in the end." Junior Betsy Glover, Chi Omega Pi vice president, said she didn't think the changes affected the process that much. "I know a [ot ofdubs were scared that new members would have bad attitudes," Glover said. "Like they would just blow everything off because they were already in the dub, but I didn't see any of that." Glover said, contrary to the worries of many of her peers, the new members of the club were closer than in years past. "We did a lot ofactivities that involved old and new mem– bers," Glover said. "Instead ofjust being dose with each other, the girls really got to know the older members roo." Junior Nick Prosser, TNT vice president, said he was worried about the changes, bur in the end the changes turned out well. "It was hard not to keep tradition," Prosser said. "We've done it the same way for many years. But change is good sometimes because we learned different ways to keep the club together." ·Austin light (TheBison and Atenos Hernandez Cruz contributed) After ,"rnpleting 0 reloy roce, freshman Elizabeth Strate, Delta Gamma Rho new member, washes the cottage cheese off her legs Nov. 8 at the intramural fields.
