Rainbow Rush 1971 seems light years away from the SMU rush of the 1960s. Hard to believe they took place on the same planet.

Nut, you are Killing me here with these looks back in time. Gah! My eyes, my eyes... where are you finding these gems?

Just a little something to tide us over for the next few weeks before Recruitment starts!

Yah. What a difference a decade made.

It's just crazy how much younger the women of 1971 appear than the women of 1960.

Wow! Did Miami have all of those chapters active in 1971? That's quite a Greek system.

It's only one more chapter than they currently have (if you count one that is suspended temporarily for RM.)

Love it---keep 'em coming!

Ah, 1971. My first year on the sister side of recruitment!

Love it!

It's those damned Beatles' fault. :)

"Do not fold, bend, spindle, or mutilate." a phrase whose knowledge and meaning dates a person.

My favorite line is the last one of 4th round:

"The preferential parties will be held in the suites and the appropriate dress will be indicated to the rushee at that time."

What?

These are September dates, I didn't realize Miami was once on the quarter system.

Miami of Ohio I am assuming? The trees look definitely northern-no palm trees in the pictures?

I think all the state universities in Ohio were on the quarter system until the mid-late 70's when most changed over to semesters, Ohio State being the last holdout until this past year.

I will add that this pic of the pie eating contest is one of 4 such images in this brochure!

Yes, Miami University is "Miami of Ohio." University of Miami = Miami of Florida.

I like the part about the Third Period Parties: "These formal parties place you in the more type of more formal situations you may find yourself in at alumni (sic) functions..." Today, we're trying to convince collegians that we're not old women sitting around sipping tea, and they were prepping for that very thing!

Also, love the picture where the girl appears to have had her face stuck in a cream pie. I don't want to imagine the backlash that sort of activity would result in, these days.

Ohio University just switched back to semesters this year. I think it was in the late 60's that they switched from semesters to "quarters" (which were really trimesters if you think about it since most people didn't go to school during "summer quarter")

I think it's awesome. Of course, that's my era. :)
