TKE suspends five chapters failing to meet Fraternity minimum standards

INDIANAPOLIS, IN —Tau Kappa Epsilon International Fraternity, in collaboration with its local alumni officers and university officials, has taken disciplinary action against five chapters that failed to meet the Fraternity’s minimum standards.

The disciplinary action includes the suspension of all chapter operations and activities for TKE Chapters at Rutgers University (Alpha-Eta), University of Colorado (Gamma-Iota), University of South Florida (Lambda-Alpha), University of Minnesota (Theta), Western Illinois University (Zeta-Theta)

“In order to be a TKE Chapter, we expect every group to meet certain minimum standards related to chapter operations, membership, finance and discipline. If a group consistently falls short of those standards, it will no longer continue to operate,” said Kevin Mayeux, CEO.

In each chapter closure, TKE worked with university officials to ensure a return to campus in the future.

We gotta be better than the other people in Greek life we cant keep having chapters closing for stupid reasons

Sometimes it might be the best thing for a weak chapter. If it reactivates in a couple of years, it could come back much stronger than before. Sig Eps lost their charter at Missouri State in the mid 90's...now they're back and the last time I checked had about 100 guys and were the largest on campus.

For quite a long time now, most alert NIC fraternities have placed
a priority upon revivals, and a large percentage of new chapters
these days are simply coming back and restoring the chapter, thus bringing back orphaned alumni. Most of us have a helleva
list of dead ones, so there's plenty for us to do.
A goodly number are doing this with success. I salute all of them
for there was a long time that the uglies, wart hogs and critics
tried to wreak havoc upon us. We are doing a pretty good job at
it, though it has opened the door to a new level of bureaucracy,
greek officials (some not even having been members of the NIC-
type, perhaps wannabees or hens' clubs, tho) & paperwork
We may, though, see fewer houses and live-in quarters, as today's undergrads have more money and less inclination to live
in the cramped conditions that some of us did. And many don't have the penchant for saving $ for future housing. We'll make
do, however, though it may be in lodges or party/meeting rooms,
and the dixie ladies will tough it out in their five million bucks manses and their 250 girl chapters...and of course, wonder why the rest of the country shys away from placing chapters there.
Moteesir? (did I get that right?)
