I need some Questions answered..........
 

1) Who is our International Sister Sorority?
2) How many Chapters do we currently have?
3) Was Ron Jeremy(The Porn Star) a TKE?
4) Is there any truth to the rumor that some TKE astronaut left his pin on the moon?
5) What TKE chapters are the strongest Internationally?
6) Is Corey surgically attached at the hip to his girlfriend?
......Blaise....Way up the Bayou........

1. No clue at all.
2. Active chapters, I'd say close to +/- 274
3. According to rumors I've heard, yes, but of course they're not going to put him in the red book.
4. That I think is completely false, there was a message thread a couple of days ago about pins on the moon, and it seems everyone's got their pin on there if the rumors are true. If it were, that sort of thing WOULD be in the red book.
5. Taking a wild shot, I'd say University of Manitoba, as they're the oldest, but again, no clue.
6. Corey the sigchi? girlfriend? i thought they really LOVED the brothers in that fraternity. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/tongue.gif

#6 is FALSE.
Now "Crackbaby" on the other hand is a different story. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

Corey by Crackbaby are you reffering to Maggie? I know she is skinny, but atleast she doesnt look like Pinochio...........Hahahahaahahaha

Is Paul Rubins really a TKE? My bf said he wasn't even in the book.........?!

He's not, and neither is Ron Jeremy. With the allegations against him, I can understand why IHQ wouldnt want to advertise that. It's still a widespread chapter rumor. I hear from some of the guys that he's an FSU alum, anyone down there know anything about it?

No funny squiggles, just bold letters: TKE

Just wanted to pass along some info in case some of you didn't know:

Emily Helen Butterfield, one of our cherished Founders, helped design your Coat of Arms.

It's a connection that us Alpha Gams are proud of!

Paul Rubins is that Pee Wees real name, If it is, he is a TKE, Northwest Oklahoma State annitiated him, he is an honorary....Its on his website and was confirmed by Erik Conard, if you have a TKE bs account you know hwo he is.....

Funny Blaise, but I was talking about Mike D.........

Frater - as much as I hate to admit this, Yes, PeeWee is an honorary member of TKE (before his little caper). And, naturally Frater Conard (TKE's walking history book) will verify this along with more finite details, such as the exact date, time, if so and so was present, etc..

Ron Jeremy-honoray member
 

A question was asked wether Ron Jeremy was a TEKE? And yes he is an honoray member of San diego State Universtiy chapter Gamma-Lambda. I am an active member at the Arizona State Chapter of Beta-Xi. And our chapter has a great relationship with the SDSU chapter who initiated Ron Jeremy. I have met Alumni of Gamma-Lambda that were undergrads at the time of Ron Jeremy's initiation in the late 90's.

If you need further proof buy, rent or download:

"Porn Star: the legend of Ron Jeremy."

There is a 15 minute scene of Ron Jeremy on stage at the SDSU Teke house party room. Part of the film is shot at the Teke house and is around the same time he was initiated. The scene shows the Teke house at SDSU and he is being cheered on by the Tekes at SDSU.

From what I was told, when Ron was initiated, headquarters was pissed off and so was their alumni board. Since they were a powerhouse at the time, they did not get in trouble at the time.

YITB,
Pablo (aka: frodo)

Re: Ron Jeremy-honoray member
 

Yeah, too bad your HQ doesn't list him as a distinguished alumnus on their website. :( I see Elvis, Merv Griffin, Willie Nelson, and the Everly Brothers...but no Ron Jeremy.

Re: Ron Jeremy-honoray member
 

Sorry contact IHQ. He is not a TKE in the official sence. His memebrship was rejected by IHQ and he did not recieve a badge from IHQ's anyways. I am sure many brothers, especially at the chapter he saw iniation consdier him one. IHQ does and won't claim him and chapter could get in trouble if they use his name or image for rush, parties, ect. I have talked to several grands about it before and they aren't happy people claim him when he isn't a brother. I heard they even consider a suit agisnt him if he keeps claiming membership. I think thats unlikely because it would bring to much natinal publicty to the issue.

Ron Jeremy-honoray member
 

I cannot argue agianst that he is not an official Teke, however it is hard if not impossible to keep "Ron Jeremy", out of the minds and thoughts and the many t-shirt designs of thousands of current active members of Teke. Just the fact that he initiated just as you, the many brothers still in college and I did, will be froever engraved in our minds.

Even though Ron Jeremy was rejected by HQ because of his status as a Adult film star, every chapter I have come in contact on the west coast, still do consider him a member. Ron also does stop to greet and talk with tekes as he did for us two years ago when his tour stopped by in tempe. I can accept he is not an official teke, but if it had been another time, or if Ron was a senator, or somthing more tastefull than a porn star, the grand council would have accepted his membership. Jump into our shoes, and you see how different you would feel about it. Male, college student, and young, things are just a little different. And you would be lying if you say you wouldn't want to be associated with him, well lets not get into an argument over this. However to us Tekes in the west coast close to SDSU, Ron will always be a member. Because its the one and only "RON JEREMY".

I guess if fellow Tekes want to consider him one in their hearts and minds thats fine. He may have seen ritual and even believe in it doesn't make him my brother. He may be a great guy, but seeing ritual doesn't make someone official in my eyes at least and defiantely not with IHQ.lol

Re: Ron Jeremy-honoray member
 

Brandon I don't think he thinks you're "young" anymore. LOL. :p

Re: Re: Ron Jeremy-honoray member
 

I guess not. Being almost 26 is really old. :P

Re: Re: Re: Ron Jeremy-honoray member
 

I'm right there behind you with my cane because I'm almost 25. :)

I remember when your TKE brothers rushed at my campus, they'd never ever mention the Ron Jeremy urban legend. They never acknowledged him as a brother and though they could have used the repulsive and disgusting man as a rush PR tool, they knew they were better of NOT associating the good TKE name with SMUT.

But remember, that was my campus. And that was only a few years ago. :rolleyes:

It just goes to show that you don't have to be a grandpa or a grandma to feel the way most do about the guy.

Ron j.
 

I hate to veer off the subject, we were talking about wether or not Ron is a member, and you brought up smut. And bagged on my moral judgement about Ron and his line of work. You are missing the point. But I would like to post how every man in the back of their minds in America think about Ron Jeremy. First Ron has been in almost 4,000 women (that alone has the respect of all men around the world), every man in America, yes even our fathers think he is a god. Lets face it every man thinks as a young college male. But of course we must act like gentlemen around our mothers, sisters, wifes etc. And of course you hate Ron, your a women. Unlike women, men in the back of their minds think the same about sex. Dont believe me, ask your significant other if he wants to watch an "adult film" with you. More than likely he will accept your invintation. And if he says no, then he is a smart man hiding his inner sex thoughts from you, so he doesn't scare you away. And if you still don't believe me, I live with thirty guys, and yes we all think the same as your significant other. That is that, and yes you wont agree with me, but remember, I also am a gentlemen and never have told a lady about Ron being a member, but of course I tell every man I meet, because he will understand me, and you will not. Call me a pig, and not giving TKE a good WORD, well I wake up everday giving TKE a good name by my actions on campus and around the house. Oh ya one more thing, the new blood on all campuses are closet freaks, and love to watch "adult films" (including the women). Look up what a closet freak is and you will finally understand what all this gibberish I am writing is about. maybe saying young was the wrong thing, more like the new blood on campus.

I thought Ron Jeremy now tours the country giving talks on safe sex. That doesn't strike me as smutty...

Not only does he tour the country teaching about safe sex and abstinance, he also holds two degrees in acting and education as well as having a very popular comedy routine.

I asked an alumni from my chapter that works for IHQ about the Ron Hyatt (Jeremy) rumor, he said that IHQ does not reconize him as a member, as stated before. Kinda sucks but I guess it makes sense. But hey if it makes a great RUSH tool for some guys, so be it... :confused:

a bunch of us had met ron jeremy last year at Deja Vu. We introduced ourselves to him and he was a really cool guy. Oh yeah, he signed our TKE shirts too.

If you watch that Ron Jeremy documentary you will have a whole new perspective on the man. Whether you like to believe it or not, Ron Jeremy makes for a better rush tool than some of our more popular famous tekes.

TKE: "You know... Terry Bradshawis a TKE."
Rushee: "Oh, cool."
TKE: "Yeah, so is Ron Jeremy."
Rushee: "Ron Jeremy?"
TKE: "Yeah"
Rushee: "Are you serious?"
TKE: "Yup"
Rushee: "Kick ass"

in today's day and age... younger kids don't care about the status of some of our more notable famous tekes like Elvis, or Willie, or even Reagan (the new crop is too young to remember him)... but they all know one thing... Ron Jeremy.

Not to mention he makes for funny TKE t-shirts

I think the porn star pledged but then dropped, from what I've read at least

I dont believe that IHQ will sue any undergrad that promotes Ron Jeremy in a rush flyer. The reason being.... why would IHQ look to hurt one of its own chapters, an income producer. If anything, I see IHQ backing any and all of its chapters against any allegation outside of hazing (or another life threating/harming misfortune) to keep it active. As much as I hate shelling out my money just to remain active, they are the most supportive of all the National fraternities on my campus (the free professionally done rush pamphlets and flyers, etc).

Secondly, I had our annual visit from out Regional consultant a little over a year ago and he saw a flyer in which Ron Jeremy was on and didnt say anything.

I think it is wrong for IHQ to reject him because hes a porn star. I dont think its right to reject anyone on their background. If they portray values of a good brother i think that should be enough and in all the stories i have heard of Ron Jeremy he has portrayed the same Values as Willie Nelson. It seems to me Ron interacts with more TKES than ANY OTHER FAMOUS ALUMNUS.

As for Pee Wee being a TKE. I've heard it. I dont think its that bad. Besides being caught beatin it. He was in a few cool movies. Mystery Men, Blow, Buffy the Vampire Slayer (the original movie) and even did some stuff in Cheech and Chong Movies.

Pee Wee Herman...frater
 

TKE has never had a chapter at Northwestern Oklahoma at Alva;
two (or more) attempts to go on there have failed.
It is my understanding that Southeastern Oklahoma at Durant was the chapter who initiated Rubens....Pee Wee....He got caught slapping the leather in a movie house in Florida. The TKE
chapter in Durant is now one of the 200+ dead chapters of our
Fraternity. People got all bent out of shape 'cause we initiated
Lawrence Welk, then Elvis, then Willie...I think I will toss in my
badge if we initiate the greatest sleaze bag of all...Bill Clinton
As regards Pee Wee...in the whole scheme of things, does it really matter? Keep the trivia questions coming, though!

Is there something wrong with Lawerence Welk, Elvis, or Willie?

Re: Pee Wee Herman...frater
 

I would be Proud to call Bill Clinton a frater if he was ever intiated. Least he isn't Nixon.

Well, He is not a man of sterling character nor is he a man of staunch uprightness.

Continuing on that, He is not exactly a man with excellent personal worth or character.

Yes but if he were a brother we should show him love charity and esteem

well, to correct you a bit....as you know, the most important part of the Declaration of Priciples shows the elements of true brotherhood.

"We believe that the essential elements of true brotherhood are love, charity, and esteem; love, that binds our hearts with the sturdy chords of fraternal affection; charity, that is impulsive to see virtues in a brother and slow to reprove his faults; esteem, that is respectful to the honest convictions of others and that refrains from treading upon that which is sacred to spirit and conscience; these are the triple obligations of every brother in the bond."

Love- We are supposed to allow it to bind our hearts to our brothers. You can still love someone but think that their actions are not moral or correct

Charity- We are supposed to be "slow to reprove [a frater's] faults" That does not mean forget his faults all together. In this case, it means take a close look at the things he did and use proper judgement

Esteem- We are supposed to not question the convictions of others, but at the same time, we cannot forget our own convictions and beliefs.



If we are to blindly treat all fraters (and non-fraters for that fact) with charity, esteem, and love at all times, we would be the most foolish group around. Also, if that truly were the case, that we are to treat them with those elements regardless of actions, morals, and beliefs, we would not have an MQB or judicial board to check up on fraters.
