rushes, Georgia Beta has increased its<br />

membership to 65 brothers. We have used these<br />

new men to strengthen our chapter, and our<br />

achievements in athletics, academics, and on<br />

Despite thefactthatfewerfreshmen have<br />

been going through rush at Emory, <strong>Phi</strong> Delt has<br />

pledged large spring classes forthe past two<br />

years. With the leadership of rush chairman, Mike<br />

Parker, we pledged 25 new <strong>Phi</strong>keias, These<br />

young men are extremely active on campus,<br />

participating in such organizations as the debate<br />

team, cheerleading, and RHA, There are also<br />

several varsity athletes among our <strong>Phi</strong>keias, as<br />

well as the coach of the newly rejuvenated Emory<br />

lacrosse team.<br />

Behind All-Row Athlete of the Year, Josh<br />

Weber, this year's <strong>Phi</strong> Delt sports teams have<br />

excelled. In Softball, hockey, and football, the <strong>Phi</strong>s<br />

won every regularseason game. Despite some<br />

bitter losses in the finals and semi-finals, the All-<br />

Row title was still within striking distance. Second<br />

semester started out with a bang as <strong>Phi</strong>keia Ian<br />

Zaslansky nailed a last-second three-pointer to<br />

beat our perennial basketball rival,AEF'i, We are<br />

planning to field a very strong soccerteam this<br />

semester, and three-peat as champions in the<br />

volleyball competition. Record numbers of fans<br />

are turning out for ourgames, and every brother<br />

has high expectations that <strong>Phi</strong> Delt will finally<br />

reign as All-Row Champions,<br />

This year our 3,2 G PA ranked second on the row.<br />

entering post-graduate studies at Duke, Yale,<br />

Harvard, and Stanford, it is clear that the brothers<br />

of Georgia Beta take scholarship seriously,<br />

leaders on campus. Residence Life has five<br />

sophomore advisers and two resident advisers<br />

who are <strong>Phi</strong>s, Last semester <strong>Phi</strong> Delts composed<br />

nearly a quarter of the College Council, and two<br />

SGA representatives were also <strong>Phi</strong>s, Brother Rob<br />

Brainin also served as SGA president. In the<br />

recent SGA elections, <strong>Phi</strong> Delts again garnered<br />

positions in SGA. Michael Berry and Jeff Bartos<br />
