well, the rest of Colorado
somehow lost message...TKE had interest groups at Regis and at
Ft Lewis--school killed both. TKE had chapter at Mesa, lived for
a coupla years, school supported heartily. Drug sales killed. The
Sig Eps had a colony, it died. Tri Sigma colony died and Chi Omega thrived but their HQ killed it. Lambda Chi had a disaster at Adams state, lived a semester. TKE, Sigma Pi and Theta Chi were all at Western, off and on. Theta Chi built a house. Chapters were off and on, size wise, TKE up to 70 men once. The
isolated school just did not click but lasted twenty years. It might
be a revival candidate but need spark plug.
U of S Colorado or whatever the name is...TKE pioneered, Kappa
Sig and Lambda Chi joined, but were not much more than a party
group with no clue and no real supervision. TKE folded, had an
interest group, folded, some kind of dean is a TKE. Nothing is now
doing there, wait and see, perhaps, but need spark plug here.
Metro State, am told, had Delta Sigma Phi briefly. Poor place to
have greeks. Tri Sigma has chartered, maybe we'll see.
Johnson & Wales...a joke, no further comment.
U CO-Colo Springs, Pi Beta Phi has colonized, beautiful area, but
it, too, remains to be seen.
Colorado College...Beta gone, will perhaps return, let them back
and dead Pikes, but hardly exciting. Pass.
Colorado Mines...several dead, should be allowed to return. But
campus is only so-so. Belching beer drinkers with good grades.
The various Colorado mountain schools, not worth discussing.
Shopping center schools...actually am surprised some small eastern outfits have not entered!....cheap shot, sorry.
Did I miss any? Have been active with surveys for nearly 50 years
and think TKE has best handle of all on that. TKE has take a very
conservative stance, extension-wise (finally) but very receptive to
revivals....(good). Concentration on revivals best move presently
I have tossed around the notion of 2 or 3 GLOS colonizing at the
same time, thus avoiding suicidal single chapter schools, TKE has
had several, no one else came on, chapter finally died. Schools
like S. Oregon, Sul Ross, gosh..several, later entries came too late
Would welcome skull session about this topic. No reason why we
could not be helpful, more than civil, with each other, as we have
enough bad-relation-wise with the outsiders and wimpy college
administrators than to fight among ourselves. NIC--another joke.
