Beta Theta Pi is a classy outfit, not a big one, but a good one. I
find most fraternities, at least the biggies, have indeed shucked
a lot of chapters, especially in the NE where they march to their
own drummers and where we shoulda never gone to begin with. With 40 years on TKE expansion/extension, I find that at
least 75% of new charters issued are reactivations, i.e. orphan
alumni want their old chapters returned. Besides, fewer new schools opening, and many of them are not suited for Greeks.
Even Harvard has come around saying they have tried everything and the Greeks seem to be the best system.
Perphaps the Ivies and the four-eyed cretins at Berkeley and U of Chicago will come around. A reactivated chapter is a labor of
love, and Beta, power to you! Erik P Conard, TKE
