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.

I don't understand why Phi Delt Nationals would retain the pledges. Wouldn't you think they were recruited under the circumstances in point c and would only look to further that in the new colony? It would make more sense from their perspective to clean house completely so they can start from scratch without any memories of the old Phi Delt. Was their some stipulation that they had to retain some members to remain on campus as a colony? And if there was such a stipulation, why wouldn't they pick and choose from both current members and pledges after a series of interviews or something?
