Okay here's what I know about TNE at my campus.
They are one of three "secret" societies (the others being Rho Delta-which I think is entirely females- and the other beign Secret Scroller Society). Occasionally they will put out a newsletter that makes fun of people in the greek system or exposes personal secrets of greek members. They usually state that this is an effort to improve the greek system by pointing out those members who are liablilities or who are representing greeks well. From what I've heard, they select you, and it tends to be those who are going on to bigger and better things. They also claim to be like the Skulls in that they are everywhere and that the connections they possess will allow them to get far in life. In order to get in you supposedly have to disclose the secrets of your fraternity/sorority in order to prove your desire to join what the members consider a far more important organization. Many chapters I think will require anyone found to be a TNE/Scroller/Rho Delt to turn in their badge and cease to have any connections with the GLO.
I saw an old copy of Bairds (53 or somethign) where they were mentioned only in saying that overall they suffered from almost nonexistent national leadership, which lead to most of the chapter basically running things the way they so desired. This led to a national reputation of beign troublemakers - so much so that usually when a respectable chapter of TNE found out about the reputation and the acts of other chapters, they began the search to join another GLO.
That's really all I know.
