This; leaves SS returning in the Fall. Finances will be tight, as usual, but more important than finances is RUSH. The International Fraternity has extended Rho Alpha's probation for another year, and given the>m a new goal of 35 brothers before graduation next spring. It was the immense support and enthusiasm of the graduaites all year long (especially at Pig Dinner) that helped prompt the Archons to keep the chapter open. Most notable among Rho Alpha's achievements last spring was the winning of the scholarship trophy for an unprecedented 3rd time. In addition to this, they also posted the best grades for Spring quarter, which makes the outlook excellent for another trophy next year. This is yet another example of why Rho Alpha is such a worthy chapter of Phi Gamma Delta. ******** 1985--1986 BCA Goals ******** The BCA is going to put all of its efforts into the following two goals: 1. Get as many graduates as possible to attend and help with Rush. H. Set up committees of 1 or £ graduates chapter in critical areas. to advise the Goal number 1 is obviously one that will directly affect the existence of Rho Alpha at Ua. Tech. If you do nothing else in your life, attend as many of the chapter's functions as possible, preferably Rush parties. This has an immense impact on the success of Rush. Graduate attendance at Rush was a big help last year airid may have been the saving grace of the chapter. If we graduates can do even more this year, we can propel the chapter to a large enough membership to escape the throes of probation. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT. PLEASE TRY TO ATTEND ANY AND ALL RUSH FUNCTIONS! (Thank you. Besides, you'll have a good time . ) Also, if you know of anyone who is or will be attending Va. Tech, and who you think would be a good Rush candidate, please contact one of the BCA officers with his name and any other information you might have. Goal number S is to set up*-gr!t»ups of graduates to advise the chapter in key areas, such as Rush, Social, Officers, etc. So far the following groups have been set up: Chapter Administration Advisor Social Advisors Graduate Relations Advisor Historian Advisor Rush Advisor Financial Advisor —Bill Latane —Henry King and Amos Webb —Doug Frushour —Mike Rooney —Richard Eskelund —Jeff Whipple These graduates will be visiting the chapter and helping the brothers they advise with the knowledge and experience they have in these areas. If you would like to help, contact Jeff Waldon at the chapter house or volunteer when you show up for Rush. \r\nHELP US FIND OUR LOST GRADUATES !!!
