Formal rush policies changed Formal recruitment for fraternities is revised to encourage participation. Carly Barnhill Asst. News Editor @carlyabarn Formal fraternity recruitment is right around the corner, and with the new semester comes a revised recruitment schedule that aims to make it easier on all of those who are going through the recruitment process, fraternity members and potential new members alike The formal recruitment process is for sophomores and upperclassmen, and this “new and improved” recruitment, as Greek Council Vice President for Men’s recruitment Max Fryer calls it, will take place over two weeks instead of the standard one week that it has been in the past. Although each fraternity will still host five events throughout the recruitment process, they will now do so over a longer period of time. This will allow for more locations around campus to be used for the events. “We made this change so that potential new members would be able to make it to more events and get to know more fraternities,” said Fryer. Greek Adviser Dan Faill stated that the change for recruitment will give potential newmembers moretime and opportunities to learn about each fraternity. “Overall, it comes back to allowing the fraternities more time to get to know See New Fraternity Rush | Page 3 Not a typical ALS Ice Bucket Challenge Phi Delta Theta’s ALS Ice Bucket Challenge raised $10,000 for their philanthropy. Amanda Lopez Asst. News Editor @amandalo_ What happens when KFC and Phi Delta Theta team up with a whole bunch of ice? $10,000. If you have scrolled through Instagram or Facebook within the past few weeks, you may have noticed video after video of people dumping buckets of ice water over their heads. If these posts did what they intended to do, you would know that they aim to raise awareness for a disease known as ALS. The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge has been all over social media lately, raising awareness for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig’s disease, an ailment which primarily affects one’s ability to control his or her muscle movement. The Ice Bucket Challenge has not only brought attention to this disease but has also led to an influx of donations from people who support research for a cure. According to the ALS Association, as of Sept. 3, $107.4 million has been raised as a result of the Ice Bucket Challenge. Phi Delta Theta, LMU’s newest fraternity, took note of how effective the challenge was and decided to host its very own ALS Ice Bucket Challenge on Thursday, Aug. 28, at Convo. By the end of the day, they had raised $10,000. When all of the Ice Bucket Challenge videos began to surface, Phi Delta chapters nationwide were challenged to participate and support the ALS Association, which is the fraternity’s national philanthropy. The LMU chapter decided to take it one step further— to not only challenge members of the fraternity, but also members of the LMU student body. Originally, the fraternity intended to simply collect a $1 donation from each person who participated in the challenge. However, the agenda changed after Phi Delta's social chair, junior marketing major Bryan Rivas, paid a visit to KFC. After speaking with a representative at KFC about its corporate philanthropy, Rivas asked if KFC would be willing to participate in their Ice Bucket Challenge and make a video together. KFC agreed and, in addition, also promised to donate $100 per bucket if a KFC bucket was seen in the shot.
