Obituary Page 4 Zach Slaney Spring Initiation 2012 Rush Chair st This Spring initiation that was held on the 31 of March was a great success. We have added one great man who exemplifies our four founding principles and I am proud to call him my brother. Our recruitment efforts throughout the fall, as well as help from our Fall 2011 pledge class, kept Matt interested in joining Delta Upsilon and he decided to pledge in the Spring. Our Spring rush efforts were very strong, but unfortunately we did not find many men attending Rush who we felt would be a good addition to join our brotherhood. We did not offer any Our newest brother (Matt Golino) “rushees” the opportunity for membership into our Spring 2012 pledge class. Although we were disappointed of the size of our pledge class, we are proud that we hold high standards for the men that we want to build into better men and to represent our fraternity throughout our campus as well as anywhere else they are present. We have been planning our summer recruitment for several months now and are excited for what it holds. We are planning weekly events for brothers to attend and we will welcome some lucky potential rushees to attend these events with our brothers. The Brotherhood after the initiation ceremony
