I assure you I know about TNE. On the other hand I am not a follower nor do I have any interest in anything that goes on at Weslyan other than that it houses some sort of TNE and by extension of the fellow that runs it, the Mystical Seven. Nevertheless I am not "confused" at all between Eclectic and the various Mystical 7's. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mystical_Seven_(Wesleyan) , http://www.wesleyanargus.com/article...rticle_id=4151
TNE at Wesleyan (Thetanuepsilon dot com) is run by a fellow who brought it back or revitalized it in a very different form. He has a facebook group, a blog and that website which he has been working on for years. It is a very different thing than other TNE groups. There are senseless people who will start the back and forth bickering about legitimacy and authority, usually coming from Wesleyan. I am not addressing the "legitimacy" issue at all.
The other TNE's tend to run as I described. They do good and they accomplish things (which is more than many other organizations), even if their reputation does not always reflect that. One would imagine their independence allows them to accomplish more than groups under the control of administrators, etc. and that this independence carries over to post grad life.
Maybe there is something you know that I have wrong about the Mystical Seven or Eclectic (which I know little about.) It would make a great thread. I'm pretty solid on TNE however. |
Ah, I see. I understand where you are coming from now - the Wesleyan chapter certainly does not seem to be at all like the way the chapter at, for example, Bama has been described. Mystical Seven is a whole other ball game, but I had never heard that the same person was involved with both TNE and M7. Just thought I would pipe in as an alum and make sure you weren't confusing the two
