Elephant Walk:Their glory days were right before they got kicked off by Nationals.
I know your line of thinking and I understand it. But there's a combination of three things which make this not good for their recruitment and longstanding tradition of pledging some of the best the University has to offer.
a) The likelihood of the Nationals not being from an SEC school with no understanding of SEC rush and the typical guy the fraternities are looking for. Likewise, not being from the South which could be a shot across the bow to start with. Nationals likes to send their weirdest Yankees whenever they come around, I would be very surprised if they do anything but that.
b) The unfamiliarity with the Rush process on the part of the pledges and not have been completely ingrained in UA fraternity culture.
c) the lack of alcohol as a result of nationals coming. That alone will probably kill their rush of the guys that Phi Delt has been having for quite sometime.
Elephant Walk, I am enjoying our conversation!!!!!!
I see the picture now. Not having a consultant that is familar with a SEC University and the rush process, can hurt the stability and longevity of the future chapter. I am not familar how the Phi Delt National assigns the regions to their consultants, but I would think if they want to have a successful chapter at UA, they would assign a consultant preferably someone from the SEC to help with the re-colonization process. That would make sense. In my example, I should have been a little more specific as to the region I was referring too, which was the Northeast (and I attended a Northeast University) and the university itself, which was also in the Northeast (Big East Conference). That was why it was easy for me the establish a successful re-colonization.
I can also understand why (c) would be a problem as well.
