What was the name of the 2nd crest during the 1913- 1924 years?

i'm gonna guess the Bastard crest cause that's the only one that really had a name. (coined by the XI chapter as per TKE trivia.)

Nope it is the Minchin Coat of Arms

Describe the past grand prytanis jewel.

The Past Grand Prytanis jewel is a Roman-gold triangular key, the sides of which are one inch in length, surmounted on the obverse side by a gold scroll bearing the scales of justice, a gavel bearing the Greek letters of the chapter of the owner, and a scroll bearing the letters TKE. This jewel is worn during sessions of the Grand Chapter, chapter installations, and on other important occaisions, suspended from the neck by a cherry and gray silk ribbon.

From The Teke Guide 1999 Edition page 24

Correct at least you can find it in the Teke Guide after you pledgeship! Lots of brothers forget stuff like that.

At all banquets a fraternity song must be sung before being seated and the alma mater at the end of the banquet.

True or False?

TRUE!

Alma mater too?
 

I did not know this, but golly I went to three colleges as an undergrad and four more as a grad student.
How in the hell can I remember all those alma mater songs?
K-S-T-C Forever...bull puckey.
I'm a Jayhawk, er, Go Wart Hogs, or Fight Illini or something
Anyway, by the time the banquet is over I am ready for other
things.
Now the Teke songs, well, those are okay...

I was suprized to but apperently it is true. I seriously doubt its followed though.

Who were the Grand Prytanis' during Reagan's years in office?

Prytani during Frater Dutch's reign
 

The plural of Prytanis is Prytani...picky, picky, picky
Generally regarded as the most charismatic and genial prexy
of all, Frater Reagan was supported by several international
presidents of TKE. This old codger does not even remember
when the 40th president served, and will defer to the sagacious
young fraters, history majors, et al.

In order:D
Rodney Williams, Jr
John A. Courson
Dwayne R. Woerpel
Joel E. Johnson
Bruce B. Melchert

Gosh, the GMU frater beat me! I am having supper tonite in Denver with Kevin Pollard, Grand Dollar of TKE. Will convey
greetings. Things could not be better for TKE in Colorado.
We have a big Rush Clinic coming up 19 Jan, too.
Now, where was I?
Congrats, GMU frater, for beating the old codger. YITB, Erik]

I was at Conclave when they were elected, plus I knew where it was hiding in TKE.org. but hey, i know how to take a complement.

i'm sure frater conrad, being on a dinner basis with "the grand dollar" could rattle them off from memory though. myself, i simply consider myself fortunate to have shaken Frater Lon Justice's hand in New Orleans while he was wearing "the grand poo-bah" hat.

What year was it when the last living founder passed away?

1962

Correct!

James C. McNutt- 1962.

Name the national founders, not the founding fathers.

Lester H. Martin
William L. Wilson
Wallace G. McCauley
L.W. Tuesburg

Correct!

duh
 

How many times do I have to correct this? He was William Salter Wilson, not William L. Wilson.
I sent this into the Teke Magazine.
Wilson's daughter did the same.
His grandson, a frater from Delta Omega chapter, told me of the
frustrations they had with TKE in getting this right.....
I met Bill Wilson several times and asked him what his middle
name was and he said it was his mother's maiden name and
he never incorporated it into his signature.
Even Dr. William Van "Suits" Muse continued to compound the
error in the TKE pledge manual, and it was again corrected in
the TKE history in progress, edited by Mark Fite.
William Salter Wilson aka William S Wilson
not William L Wilson, William S!
Get it? Got it? Good.
William S. Wilson

What are the reason's the TKE flag should be half mast for?

The fraternity flag should be displayed half mast when a member passes away,
on the death of Past Grand Prytanis of Grand Officer, and Whenever days or mourning id Declared by IHQ.

At what angle should the fraternity pin be worn?

I am doing well Tom. How are you doing? If you know the answer go ahead and answer it. The thread is not soley reserved for TKE'S. I would be quite impressed if you know which angle the TKE pin should be wore.:p

Tom Earp
 

A Moderator on this site, Tom Earp was an undergrad at Pittsburg (KS) State. I was on the faculty + TKE adviser for
Delta Mu chapter (inactive and we need to go back). If we all
had the fraternal poise Tom has we'd all live in real harmony
Tom, the founder, scroll #1, of the Lambda Chi Alpha chapter
at PSU....he'd have made a great Teke, but Lambda Chi got
him first...damn! Please extend him every fraternal courtesy...
Oh, yes, he is a great-great nephew of Wyatt Earp, the famed
western figure. Anticipated that question, as have asked him.
Tom will come to our aid when we need him. I told him to get
his Navy Colts ready to do battle with an anti-Greek nerd or two
at Pittsburg....for TKE needs back...YITB, Erik P Conard--Denver
PS--Tom--look on an IL map for the geographical locations of
the first three TKE chapters, Bloomington Decatur & Champaign
and see what figure they make, and their position. Otherwise,
my lips are sealed....unless you are buying...LOL

I won't answer the previous question yet to give Tom a chance to answer.

How many versions of the TKE fraternity pin have there been?

picky, picky, picky
 

Well, we all have our peccadillos, our soft spots. Tex Flint said
TKE had a badge, not a pin. Pins are for sororities, girls, or a
form of costume jewelry. Tekes wear badges.
Before you get all bent out of shape, we have caved in to Tri
Sigma vs Tri Sig, to fraternity vs sorority for some female groups
and fraternity vs frat.
So, don't take it all too personal.
After all, we are living in a touchy age and people get pissed off
over the smallest of things.
Do you know what killed Captain Hook? Jock itch.
Well, where was I, er, never mind. Merry Xmas, Erik P Conard

members of Alpha Gamma Delta wear badges too!!

Yah I knew it was a badge but saying pin is a bad habit. I have heard more fellow fraters say pin than badge so I don't feel quite as bad. We need more Erik Conards around the country to help straighten us out.:D

I believe the TKE badge is worn with the point facing to the wearer's left, the viewer's right.
