Pagina 124 - And the muttering grew to a grumbling ; And the grumbling grew to a mighty rumbling, And out of the houses the rats came tumbling : Great rats, small rats, lean rats, brawny rats, Brown rats, black rats, gray rats, tawny rats ; Grave old plodders, gay young friskers, Fathers, mothers, uncles, cousins, Cocking tails and pricking whiskers ; Families by tens and dozens, Brothers, sisters, husbands, wives, Followed the Piper for their lives.
Pagina 124 - There was a rustling that seemed like a bustling Of merry crowds justling at pitching and hustling, Small feet were pattering, wooden shoes clattering, Little hands clapping, and little tongues chattering, And, like fowls in a farm-yard when barley is scattering, Out came the children running. All the little boys and girls, With rosy cheeks and flaxen curls, And sparkling eyes and teeth like pearls, Tripping and skipping, ran merrily after The wonderful music with shouting and laughter.
Pagina 123 - They fought the dogs, and killed the cats, And bit the babies in the cradles, And ate the cheeses out of the vats, And licked the soup from the cook's own ladles, Split open the kegs of salted sprats, Made nests inside men's Sunday hats, And even spoiled the women's chats, By drowning their speaking With shrieking and squeaking In fifty different sharps and flats. At last the people in a body To the Town Hall came flocking:
Pagina 124 - Brown rats, black rats, gray rats, tawny rats, Grave old plodders, gay young friskers, Fathers, mothers, uncles, cousins, Cocking tails and pricking whiskers ; Families by tens and dozens, Brothers, sisters, husbands, wives — Followed the Piper for their lives. From street to street he piped advancing, And step for step they followed dancing...

Pagina 25 - Rushing? What's rushing? Oh, yes: I forgot that you never participated in that delicious form of insanity known as a fall term in college. Rushing is a cross between proposing to a girl and abducting a coyote. Rushing a man for a frat is trying to make him believe that to belong to it is joy and inspiration, and to belong to any other means misery and an early tomb ; that all the best men in college either belong to your frat or couldn't get in ; that you're the best fellows on earth, and that you're...
Pagina 42 - The pins of the fraternities are an interesting study. The official badge of Phi Kappa Psi, Phi Delta Theta, and Delta Tau Delta bear the Masonic eye as an emblem. Some ten or twelve pins have one or more stars. The significance of the star varies with the number of stars, their position, etc. The diamond shaped pin and the cross shaped pin are the most common. Several fraternities have monogram pins. The shield is also seen. Delta Delta Delta, Alpha Delta Phi (f), and Kappa Sigma have the crescent....
Pagina 337 - The fraternities of the future are therefore replacing the meaningless secrecy with a fine spirit of home life and aiming to make the chapter and the chapter house a contribution to better morals, better thinking and better living. The apparently shallow and perverse Greek letter fraternity system is becoming an institution of helpfulness in student life.
Pagina 26 - ... you never ask men twice; that you don't care much for him anyway, and that you are just as likely as not to withdraw the spike any minute if you should happen to get tired of the cut of his trousers ; that your crowd can make him class president and the other crowds can make him fine mausoleums ; that you love him like real brothers and that he has already bound himself in honor to pledge — and that if he doesn't he will regret it all his life; and, besides, you will punch his head if he doesn't...
Pagina 27 - The true aim of rushing entertainment is not to outshine a rival with its costliness or to place the recipient under obligations. Its legitimate purposes are to enable a chapter to study a new man in an intimate manner so that intelligent and safe action may be taken in regard to bidding him, and to afford him an opportunity to become acquainted with the members, to size up the ideals and principles of the chapter as exemplified in its daily life and to come to know the character of the chapter's...
