Coeds see spike in rush interest levels

By Nathaniel Ward | January 21, 2003

Continuing the apparent trend for higher Greek rush numbers this year, coed fraternity houses surpassed their 2002 winter rush numbers by adding at least 30 new members.

Coed houses use a rush method distinct from that used by single-sex fraternities and sororities, Pavel said.
