the first twenty years
 

The first twenty years of TKE occurred in Sept 1922,. as the name of TKE was not chosen until that month in 1902. With
the May 1922 installation of the Pi chapter, Penn State, TKE had
sixteen chapters. Picky, picky, picky, YITB, Erik Conard-Denver

Ahh Erik I missed yah. Then officially TKE's 100th year would have been this past Jan 10th ehh?

TKE's 100th
 

you make a good point, but the centennial had to do with the
founding of the fraternity, and it is noted that Tau Kappa Epsilon
was founded as The Knights of Classic Lore.
However, the first twenty years of TKE was in 1922, not in 1919.
Gotcha. Nice try, but as with Clinton, no cigar.

Your too clever for me. lol:)

Damn E C, is good to hear from you on site! I was going to call to see if alive and kicking! I should have known better!

Old dogs like us are hard to put down!:)

Lambda Chi's own...
 

Thomas G. Earp, Lambda Chi Alpha icon, Moderator, Greek Forum Chat Room, etc....

Is it true, Tom, that one time you were headin' for a Lambda Chi
meeting that you were abducted by gunpoint, shoved into a Studebaker, and taken away...and that you started talking and after two blocks they stopped and made you get out?

Nice to hear from you......Interfraternally, Erik

E C, how did you hear that story as it was not at the Pitt. but at NWMo, before I got kicked out!!:cool:

ZEKE mentioned something about Bat Masterson that you had written or was it a ploy of his to get me to this thread:confused: :D

Let me know about your trip here!!! Would love to sit and talk war stories!

Is it True about SPE at a School your rushing a colony at? Apologized for the SPE because they did not have the courtassy to show for their appointmnent! If TRUE, I could beleive it!!!!! Also knowing you!;)

We are the fraternity with most active chapter. As of the 2001 final numbers how many chapters are active?

177 the last I heard.

When did TKE switch to Alzheimer's for Philanthropy?

It was a resolution passed at the 51st Biennial Conclave in New Orleans.

Yay someone finally answered a question.lol

Where was the 49th conclave held?

active chapters
 

As best as I can tell, the last installed chapter of TKE was at
West Virginia State College on 10 May 2002. TKE has 267
active chapters and about 35 affiliates, colonies and interest
groups, putting us just over 300 total. We are stlll the largest
in number of chapters. We are not the largest in total initiates,
total living initiates, average chapter size, numer of undergrads,
alumni $ contributions (sucks). TKE is overwhelmingly the largest in numbers of dead chapters...so we have a lot to do. We will likely overtake the total initiates and total living initiates,
and our number of inactive chapters will shrink. We are making
inroads to ameliorate our problems, the biggest of which is to get our chapters to pay their bills. The present good leadership
is helping greatly and the explosion of new alumni chapters is a
boon to the Fraternity for Life. What are you doing to help/

What year did Ronald Regan host TKE at the white house?

Teke Headquarters was moved from Champaign, IL in order to
obtain more space and to obtain a full-time administrator. The
TKE Executive Sec'y, then, was Vernon J. Hampton, a part-time
Dean at the U of IL. VJ was offered the full time job but did not
want to move or relinquish his U of I position, so Richard R. Hall, a former field man, was given the nod. Alex Barket, a KC
businessman, gave TKE a building at 5000 E. 59th Street in
KC, not far from Starlight Theater. It was far bigger than the so-
called "two car garage," and I began my career with TKE as a field man in that office in August 1957. The headquarters was
moved to Indy about '64 as tax breaks were kind for fraternities and some political maneuvers were involved, too. Bruce B. Melchert succeeded Hall as Executive Secretary and made the
move to Indianapolis from KC. The old HQ reverted to Barket.
He never charged TKE a dime for rent, by the way.

Once again the well hung TEKE :confused: speaks again!:)
