Wednesday night - Final Informal Parties

Clark decided to go to all four groups that he's been visiting.

Legion of Super Heroes - He enjoyed the party and felt like he could fit in with this group. This is the group that takes intramurals very seriously, something that appeals to Clark.

Titans - Again, this is the group that he is feeling the strongest connection to. Clark had a great time at this party. One thing he really liked is that a couple of the members showed him their organization's creed and a few other public mottos and memorabilia. He thought that their creed was something he felt a connection with.

Outsiders - Clark liked the guys and liked hanging out with them, but didn't quite feel the connection that he felt at LSH or the Titans.

Avengers - This is the group that Clark feels he could be good friends with, but maybe not fraternity brothers. But, he isn't totally opposed to them either.

Thursday - Formal Invitational Parties

For fraternities with Informal/Semi-informal rush, this is the last big party. The night before, chapters vote on who to extend Formal Invitational Party bids to. The pnms go to these dinners to hear from chapter members (and usually alumns) about more of the Inter/National organizations (creeds, philanthropies, etc.).

Clark received invitations to all 4 of the groups he's been visiting, and to Justice League. He had not visited Justice League, but has met a member of JL in classes who had talked to Clark about JL.

After a lot of thought (and a couple of texts with Uncle LaneSig), Clark decided to attend the formal parties of the Legion of Super Heroes and the Titans. He said he feels the strongest connection with those two groups. He also felt bad about turning down the Outsiders and the Avengers, but feels that he really wants to join the LSH or Titans.

He attended both dinners tonight. Clark said he was impressed by both groups, but one group really impressed him and made him want to be a brother.

Bids go out tomorrow (Friday). As most of you know, with most IFCs, Clark could get anywhere from 0 - 4 or more bids. He has said he will call me and let me know tomorrow what happens. And, I will let you know on Sunday when I get back in town and have access to my computer.
