I was told that TKE was one of the very first fraternities to allow non-caucasian and non-rich men into their brotherhood. Therefore, this phrase was a source of pride because at one time many men could not join the greek system unless they joined TKE. Did the person who told me this just completely make it up, or is there truth to it?
Thanks much!

The letters T K E are the same in Greek as in the Roman alphabet. Some folks said "If you can't go Greek,
go T K E based on this.
TKE did not have to ask one's religion, creed, or anything else.
We pledged who we wanted when we wanted.
But so did Beta and DU and perhaps others...and while the question is moot today, I am proud to have been in the forefront.
A loser is a loser, regardless, so Bill Clinton or the Rev. Jesse would never get a big from my chapter...LOL
