In order to exploit the advantages offered by seismology in an open cluster we consider a set of six delta Scuti stars observed in the Pleiades cluster, thanks to recent efforts of multi-site networks. We compare the observed frequency spectrum with the modes of rotating models, including the effect of rotation up to second order in the rotational splitting. Some preliminary results are presented.
