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 />
