I totally understand the 2nd paragraph. These guys have been getting the royal screw by their national officers IMO. However, due to RMF, we now have campuses that say no local groups period.

I've tried to wonder which group would be a good fit, if they are absorbed by another organization. Most of the "originally Jewish, but sectarian" groups also have chapters where TEP has chapters. Would they want to absorb chapters in that case?

The last big merger was Phi Sigma Kappa and Phi Sigma Epsilon in the early '80s. I'm not sure if there were any chapters of both on campuses where the brothers had to come together. Of course, this is all academic and probably of no interest to anyone else, but I think its going to get interesting in the next month.
