Even during the historic COVID-19 pandemic which required an innovative approach to pledge recruitment, our local chapter was able to excel. With the leadership of Recruitment Chairman, Christian Cline (18-F) they successfully recruited the most pledges of any fraternity at Fresno State and initiated thirteen. But more importantly as Chapter Advisor, Dusty Lacefield (12-F), noted at the end of the recruitment period, “The quality of the men in this pledge class is astounding!”
The pledge program followed all of the safety protocols outlined by Headquarters, the initiation was done using FaceTime and the ritual used was created especially to follow all safety protocols for the pandemic. When we finally get back to normal, there will be another initiation that will follow our normal ritual.
The Fall 2020 new initiates are Trenton Benevedes, Christian Cruz, Trent Gardner, William Jacobs, Mason Jennings, Dylan Maley, Logan Mann, Andrew Martinez, Matthew Morillas, Ethan Munoz, Adam Peters, Nolan Sumter and Ronald Wood III.
