This is an upperclass group of men. We have deferred rush that starts early next semester. They, with the help of IHQ, will mount a major recruitment drive at that time to add first year students to our roster!
Our Grand High Alpha, Ed Leonard, was with us as well as some parents, Greek Affairs staff, girl friends, and most of our Alumni Board and ZUZAA Board of Directors.
The AMs were presented with a large, handcrafted coat of arms as a gift from ZUZAA to our new Colony members.
We had a Reception after the ceremony and had a chance to start building a personal relationship with these fine young men.
Am I excited? You bet I am!
Yours in ZAX,
Mike Raymond,
Z-U Zeta

Is 12 a good number to start off with? I remember when we shut them down in 2002 at GA that the average house on campus was 70, and size was their reason they couldn't compete. I think SigEp started their colony with 40 members a while ago.
