New Idea about Colonization
Dear Fraters, I was looking at web sites of our chapters all across the nation, when an Idea came to me.........How to colonize other schools in a more affective manor, and also a more deliberate one......First we target the top fifty large schools in the nation that dont have TKE chapters anymore or have never had one. The majority of these schools are adjacent to smaller schools that have TKE chapters. So the fraters from these smaller schools are contacted by nationals, and then are given a kit much like the new rush kits that IHQ has come up with. These fraters have a meeting and invade that campus and put up flyers and posters all over campus, and leave thier new colonization chairs # on it and eventually set up a colonization meeting with the guys who call about the fraternity. Then they make these guys honorarys at thier own chapter and wholla you have a brand new TKE chapter at a big name college, and it also has a support system to fall back upon at least 30 minutes away. Think about it if USC colonized UCLA, and Central Oklahoma colonized Okie State and Virginia Tech got Virginia, Colorado State did University of Denver, we would grow tremedously really quickly, that is mor national recognition, and also more money in Dues coming in to pay for these schools to immidiatly get houses on there campuses, and plus alot of these schools have had chapters in the past and could try to get there old Alumni involved. Either way it is worth a shot and would cost the IHQ nothing to start, even if it only worked at one University that is one more than before...........This is my list of top fifty schools for Colonization:
