From the Desk of the Noble Ruler

---

Hello,

My name is Tyler Rasmussen. I am an Agriculture Business major with minors in Legal Studies and Land Valuation/Rural Real Estate from Aurora, South Dakota. This being my first report, I'd like to start by saying that the semester is already rolling. I would like to thank all the alumni who attended Pink Rose this year in Sioux Falls. It was an amazing experience as per usual and hope to see you next year. Next, we have finished recruitment and inducted five new members. Brother Etten did a phenomenal job this year and would love to hear of any recruits coming to college next year. Alpha Phi members attended both the Leadership Seminar and Recruitment School as well as my executive team attending the Top Leaders Institute. We have already hosted speakers this year, ranging from the Dean of CAFES to the Agronomy Club president. For the future, we are planning our trip to the AGR National Barbeque Competition and are preparing for our annual Pancake Feed. All in all, this semester is set to be a busy one!

As a side note, we are still working on getting this year's executive photos formatted. If there is a picture of last year's composite, those are members whose photos will be up soon.

Fraternally,

Tyler Rasmussen
