Ryan Caddel, 1235 Radford Drive, Reno, NV<br />

89511. This spring we have been worieing hard to<br />

get back on ourfeet. The past few years have<br />

been difficult, because we do not have a house<br />

and our pledge classes have been small in<br />

number. Last fall we pledged four men who are<br />

gentiemen and scholars. We are building up our<br />

numbers again and lookfonward to a stronger<br />

chapter in the future.<br />

Our main goals are to intensify our rush<br />

program and to move into a house. We have a<br />

summer rush program planned which looks like a<br />

big success. Many active members of tiieNevada<br />

Alpha chapter are from Reno, orotherpartsof<br />

Nevada, and knowquiteafewincoming<br />

freshmen. This should help oursummer rush<br />

program as well as ourfall rush programs.<br />

We made an unsuccessful attempt to move<br />

into a house this spring, but this has not changed<br />

ourgoalsordiminished ourenttiusiasm. Because<br />

of the strong bond between all of ttiebrothers and<br />

the prospect of a great msh we believe that<br />

moving into a house will not be a problem next<br />

spring.<br />
