Wisconsin, mostly old TCs
Back in the 50s, GLOs were going crazy in WI, and the old teachers colleges (TCs) were opening up for major greeks.
TKE was one of those pioneers, and so was Delta Sigma Phi,
and I recall staying at our Stevens Point location and working
out of there for several visits. We seem to be going like gang
busters, then WI raised the out of state tuition, late 60s, when
I was at U of IL first hitch in grad school (TKE adviser there, too)
Chapters folded like the devil as many out of staters were in the
GLOs. Many had just gone into hock heavily with the construction of new houses. Almost killed AKL. They are just now beginning to return. TKE had 18 chapters chartered, I think now 11 active + 3 colonies. At any rate, positive signs, harbingers of recovery.....
: WI will boom again. I do remember how 'primitive' I thought
Platteville was, things have changed; they had no GLOs then.
Keep your eyes peeled on Wisconsin, the old TCs now U's and
go there, revive, they will be great chapters!
