Theta Nu Epsilon
 

If there happen to be any members of GC on here who are members of TNE. please feel free to post or PM me.

I am starting this thread as a history of TNE pins and whatnot. I recently got copies of the old Theta Nu Epsilon magazine they published back in the early 1900s, and was reading through them when in one edition, they had an article about the founding of TNE. After reading this article, I learned that I have a Phi Nu Theta key from one of the founders. Ive had it for years, but never knew the name on the key was someone associated with TNE.

Here is a pic of the TNE from the Wesleyan Yearbook showing the list of founders, all from the class of 1873.
