The irop-in took the place of the iorority and fraternity exchanges, vhich are held on other campuses. This unique Carolina institution may look to its origins to the tra litions of hospitality and possibly hiousewarmings (which incidentally may have derived when the first Mrs. Cavewoman wanted her next loor neighbor to see her new bear skin rug). The purpose of dIrop-ins at Caro lia is to introdiuce everybody to everybody Sunday night is the ideal time for drop-ins because it gives Miss Carolina Co-ed her chance to iress-up andl look her prettiest to meet the latest in Carolina men.
