Rush
Well, rush has come and gone, finally, after 7 long weeks! we got 15 guys, bringing chapter total to somewhere around 75. Not a fantastic rush, but not bad by any means. As far as numbers this year, we ranked 5/8, with ATO, Triangle, and FIJI all getting over 20 members, Pike with 17, us, and then Theta Xi with 6, and Sigma Nu with 1.
Now, we're in 2 weeks of no contact with the freshman that didn't join anywhere, and after that, it's open season for "spring" rush. There are 3 guys that we bid that didn't join anywhere, so we're hoping to snag them too!
Also, I won the Scott M. Jank Rush Award, which is named after a brother who passed away in early 1997. He joined as a sophomore, but had wanted to join since the previous spring. He rushed very hard for the chapter, even before he had a bid, so when he died, they named an award after him, to be given to the top rusher that fall. I got $1000, a plaque, and my name on a larger plaque that is kept at the house. I was VERY honored to recieve this award!
