Hawaii
TKE, Beta and Sig Ep, I think, pioneered the U of Hawaii, Manoa.
TKE went on 1 May 1993. Our chapter has struggled and I hear
Beta has, too. At any rate, no cigar for any of us. TKE had a lot
of Hawaiian alums, too, but that did not seem to help. We also
had an interest group at a Honolulu school...good in basketball,
I can't think of name, but it sputtered and folded. Not BYU.
The Alaska outfits remain to be seen...Sig Ep pioneered U of A
in Fairbanks, still struggling. TKE & Beta declined invites. Tri
Sigma at both U of A, Fairbanks & Anchorage. TKE declined the
first invite at Anchorage, but SAE, LXA and Sig Ep now on. Deke
colony there folded. Worth following, though, as I think it will
be a goodie, I think. TKE has huge number of alums, but IHQ thought it not cost effective. Other U of A campus at Juneau but
not strong or large enough, IMHO, to support greek life.
interesting times...and we thought Canadian ones were tough...
Well, the jury is still out....
