How credible is the source of your report that Aplha-Pi chapter at Wabash College pledged 15 men? If tit is accurate, it is very disappointing news. 15 is a small Fall pledge class for Wabash fraternities, and I believe that Alpha-Pi's Fall pledge classes have been over 20, sometimeswell over 20, in recent years. If Alpha-Pi did pledge only 15, that would be a major disappointment. WGM Kaplan loves to boast of the success of Champion Quest, but that's one Champion Quest result he won't be able to crow about.
Hopefully, however, the 15 figure is incorrect or incomplete, with more Fall pledges to come.
I checked the Alpha-Pi website, but it does not as yet provide any Fall Rush results.

Last year they ended up initiating around 13 guys, so the 15 is an improvement. This was heard from one of the brothers who is currently a sophomore. Alpha-Pi is also competing with the newly renovated Sigma Chi house, the fairly recently renovated Lambda Chi house and also the new Phi Delt house that is being built. Alpha-Pi has faced some hardships this past year, but they only graduated four seniors.
The Alpha-Pi website is updated by my friend Dave Rusk and he is a quite busy senior so it probably won't be updated for a while, at least until composite pictures are taken.
ETA: One of my senior friends just confirmed the 15 guys. He said they went for quality not quantity so to avoid the de-pledges that occurred last year.
