question regarding legacies
Hello, first of all let me say that this is a very informative site and has proven to be most helpful. Keep up the good work.
And on to my question: a good buddy of mine and myself are in a bit of a debate. He is convinced that he is a TKE legacy because he has a first cousin who is a TKE alumni. Is he correct?
Thanks,
J

Honestly, that depends on TKE. I know in some fraternities a legacy is anyone with a relative who is an alum or an active, other fraternities only consider Fathers, (Great)Grandfathers, and brothers. But I think TKE considers a legacy to be anyone with a relative who’s a TKE.
Here’s a link to a resolution their Grand Chapter passed which seems to imply this:

TKE has always been very far sighted in the Greek World.
LXA also beleives in a legacy as it were, but it is not set in concrete for one to become a member. It gives a step up for the PNM.

Many chapters don't even understand their own policies. For us, a legacy used to be anyone who was a colinneal (sp?) or collateral descendant of an initiate. I didn't even know what that meant until I studied intestacy (what happens when you die without a will) in law school.
I believe we changed the rules on that though. Now it's a lot easier to understand.

As a Sigma Nu I believe our legacies are only Sons, Grandsons, or Maternal Nephews (meaning you moms brother was a Sigma Nu).
