Delta chapter set aggressive goals for this year\u2019s rush. Throughout the semester,
\nthe actives identified and nurtured prospective recruits through at social
\nevents. During rush itself, Dominion Gun Range continued to provide great
\nentertainment for each class. A relatively new addition, Lydia Mountain
\nLodge, was also a hit.<\/p>\n

The intense preparation provided a high degree of confidence going into
\nrush. By the end of rush, the chapter was able to predict the spring rush class
\nsize. With so many prospective candidates, voting sessions became more
\nintense because the quantity of recruits drove up the quality of choices. As
\na result, the chapter ended with a record 21 pledges, and also under budget.<\/p>\n
