old teachers' colleges
The old teachers' colleges, normal schools, now many are called Universities....TKE, Sig Ep especially pioneered going in
to them. They had the old teachers' college fraternities, such as
Sigma Tau Gamma, Phi Sigma Epsilon (now PSK) Kappa Sigma Kappa (now TXi) men's and Tri-Sig, Theta Sigma Upsilon (now AGD), Pi Kappa Sigma (now Sigma Kappa),
Alpha Sigma Alpha, Delta Sigma Epsilon (now DZ), etc, and
they did not operate much housing-wise, did not have the clout
or the money as the private schools and big U's. Even today, the
old TC's, now with Sigma Chi, Pike, Beta, SAE, Phi Delt, etc, have little to brag about in terms of consistency, size, housing,
etc. Just a different type of student, not implying they were at
all inferior (I have a BS from Kansas State Teachers College,
now Emporia State U). Some of the groups have been there
90 years and have little to show...that's the way it is....Nothing
to surprise anyone who has studied the Greek movement.
