Dixie Alpha
No one that I know of considers Louisville as in Dixie; it was the
first TKE chartering after WWII, in 1946. The first TKE chapter in
the so-called south was Beta-Beta, NC State, and it was called
Dixie Alpha--still is by some oldtimers. Beta Gamma was at OK
State (dead), Beta Zeta is La Poly, and is perhaps Dixie Beta; Beta Eta was Mo School of Mines, now U Mo-Rolla, a rebel area
during the Civil War, Beta Lambda, Auburn, would possibly be
Dixie Gamma, and Ga Tech, at Beta Pi, would then be logically
Dixie Delta, and so on. The latter two came on as a result of the
absorption of Alpha Lambda Tau, a southern national. That is
how we got Dr. Ralph Chester Williams...TKE was very sparse in the south in those days.
Cheers to you all from Denver, YITB, Erik Conard, KoA, CFC
