16 TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI

THE RUSHING SEASON

The rushing season's drawing near,
Its signs are manifold.
A spirit of unrest's abroad
And timid ones grow bold.
Frat. sisters meeting anywhere
Have many a word to say,
And new girls are quite overwhelmed
(Till after Pledging Day).

Each year the choice material
Grows choicer than before,
And Greek meets Greek in tug-of-war
To win these rare ones o'er,
Until the girls are fairly spiked
We dare not look askance,
For fear the other frats may note
And seize their only chance.

But I'll admit we feel each year
The keenest kind of pleasure
When we again our strength with that
Of other frats. can measure.
And so I bid you one and all,
In spite of rhyme or reason,
To come and join me in the toast—
Here's to the Rushing Season!
