[AnchorAlumna]

Is TKE reorganizing at the University of Alabama?

Don't know about TKE, but I do know that Phi Sigma Kappa is coming back:

Wow, thats funny.........me and Shinerbock's posts were deleted. Again, who cares, its TKE........at Alabama. Unless you are an Old Row or maybe maybe Theta Chi.........you are nothing........and never will be.

Define "old row" please

[macallan25]

The old row of fraternity and sorority houses. Older, more established, top houses. Most Old Row houses are focused more on a guy's background (i.e. family) and where they are from. They are not all necessarily legacies, though. Depending on the house, it's more about where you are from. DKE's, for example, are considered one of the top houses in terms of exclusivity, but it's not like they only bid legacies. They are basically a collection of well-to-do guys from Mobile. If you went to one of the good private schools in Mobile (and consequently know some of the brothers), come from a good family, and are a relatively solid guy, then yeah, you have a good chance of getting in. Do people slip through the cracks? Of course. But it's not as bad as you would think. There are occasional guys who are "picked up" by Old Row houses (meaning, they don't have any connections to the house and might be from a random town), but this is usually an exception not the rule. Basically, Old Row houses are extremely exclusive and made up of upscale families, mostly from Alabama. Guys from out of state do get in to them....but it is because they know somebody....

Sororities = Alpha Chi, Alpha Gam, Chi O, Tri-Delt, KD, Kappa, and Phi Mu.
Fraternities = DKE, SAE, KA, Phi Gam, Sigma NU

Belittleing TKE is uncalled for first.

Second, I am glad I did not see LXA in your so called hot shot lising.

Just remember, what goes around will and can go around.

You do so make me proud of being a LXA but at times not a member of The Greek Community.

There are several fraternities that are not on “old row” that always have leaders on campus. To say that you have to be in an old row house or in theta chi to be someone at Alabama is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard.

Does anyone know what happened to the chapter there?

[FSUZeta]

what chapter would that be?

[banditone]

TKE at Bama if I was to take a guess.

[AnchorAlumna]

PM me.

According to Wikipedia—which admittedly might or might not be accurate—they were on campus from 1975 to 2001.
