Alpha Sigma got an early jumpstart to this
year’s rush season. With numerous brothers
living locally, the active chapter had the
opportunity to start recruitment over the
summer with some informal activities. Last
year, this approach proved very effective, as we
recruited a pledge class of 18 men. Last year’s
pledge class—described as close-knit, smart and
motivated—really changed our chapter. Most of
these men are local and so we benefitted from
parental involvement. Plus, they excelled at
intramurals and are active in their community
and on campus. Last year’s pledge class made
strides in taking real ownership in the chapter.
