Recruitment Report - 21 New Associate Members! By Alex McGauley, #249 - Historian Rush was held the first week of the spring semester and approximately 55 men came through Eta Upsilon’s doors. About 32 were given bids, with 21 accepting, making the Omega class the biggest class since the Founding Fathers. Thus, Eta Upsilon is currently 73 members strong, with about eight seniors scheduled to graduate in May. The Omega class is well into their associate period, sub-rituals, and serenades. They’re singing Phil Collins’ “You’ll be in my Heart;” Billy Joel’s “For the Longest Time;” and BBMac’s “Back Here.” In older news, we have five members planning on doing Push America summer events. Three are riding across the country in the Journey of Hope and two others are participating in Build America. Our current Executive Council is Archon: James Sharpe (sharpe@muohio.edu), Vice Archon: Alex Harkess (harkesae@muohio.edu), Treasurer: Ken Valuska (valuskkm@muohio.edu), Warden: Zach Heimach (heimacwz@muohio.edu), Secretary: Tim Hake (hakets@muohio.edu), Chaplain: Michael Cain (cainmj@muohio.edu), Historian: Alex McGauley (mcgaulap@muohio.edu), and Push Executive Officer: Tom Evans (evansth@muohio.edu). Eta Upsilon’s Parent’s Weekend is coming up on the last weekend of February - February 27 to March 1. The highlights of the weekend will contain the pitch-in dinner followed by the auction Saturday night at the Oxford Community Arts Center. Any alumni who may be in the area are invited, but please do RSVP to me if you plan on stopping by.
