Sounds like most experiences with TKE's have been good...

I'm kind of stumped as to whether I like ours or not.. They are not currently recognized by campus but still interact with other houses. Although all the other houses are 'dry' due to university regulation they flaunt their wetness by having pretty large open parties at their house. They talk a lot about wanting to be friendly with other fraternities but then they have vandalized our house (and I know for a fact the ATO house) several times and even once broken into our house and stole all of our trophies and plaques (then lied about having them until we involved the police)... Individually though the guys I know are decent.

Having met some TKE's on this site though I've got quite a different picture than our local group has given me. I have come to realize that on the whole they're a great group of guys. If you've been contacted by a national organization I'd say go for it! Having the opportunity for meeting brothers accross the country and the support of a national organization can really help your house out! Not to mention being able to have your name on the charter.
