proven over and over
Wilson Benton Heller (UMoPike, Press Agent, WWI ace and the publisher of the College Survey Bureau) pushed the notion that as
a rule the largest chapter will be the most prominent, over all, as a GENERAL statement; I knew him well...you can find our letter
exchanges at IL-CU archives. But, folks ever-changing scenes as
Frau Blücher would say, would amend this a bit. TKE at U of AZ was one of those 160 man chapters along with Kappa Sig. We got too big for our britches, the U wanted the house, we went off
for a coupla years, came back and proceded to fold. We are going
to return in the fall. The 150 man chapters might be a harbinger
of the decline...the pretty airheads of the 200 girls in the south, who wonder why those "without a prominent Dixie rep" won't come on. I'd vote in a second to withdraw a charter to most
chapters who don't meet basic chartering standards, but would
not be thrilled, on the other hand, by getting kicked in the nuts by
a 225 man SAE chapter.
Judge each by it's campus...give some consideration to working
with each other...fraternalism does mean something, and we have
enough critics like the Frau within that we could help each other a
bit now and then.
We are not gonna shine with 5 million dollar homes, believe me.
