With a total of seven actives brothers and one alumni living in the house over the summer, the mentality for recruitment going into the fall semester was alive and well.

Starting with IFC's newly improved Meet the Greeks, Xi Delta jump started in this year‟s recruitment with a plentiful name's list.
After a week of heavy recruiting, the chapter came out with eleven new members, plus one more picked up in the next week. With these twelve plus the eighteen actives, the chapter is reaching numbers as it did in the past.

With the new accreditation program set forth by the national office, a good portion deals with our new member education program. With that in mind, our Pledge Master, Brother Chris Scott, is prepared to take on the challenge and fine tune the process to churn out brothers who will maintain the chapter for the better.

On Saturday, September 3rd, Brother Chris Scott and Brother Mario L. Lento held a new member retreat for the twelve. The curriculum consisted of not only an overview of the national and local history, but an in-depth look on the new member process and the chapter operations, including a description of each elected position and relevant bylaw education.

Finally, in the picture above of the group, the new members went to a chapter meeting of the Gamma Phi Beta sorority and formally introduced themselves to both the active sisters and new members of the chapter. With this successful act, the group will slowly move through with introductions to the other two campus sororities, Alpha Phi and Phi Sigma Sigma. This is a strong start for a strong program to build strong members.
