visiting chapters

visiting chapters often will produce some good ideas to take back.
Some hostile ones will become friends, or vice versa. Be sure to
notify the chapter in advance, tho, as an example, in the fall of
'57 or so, over 50 pledges from Central Mo, about 30 from Emporia, and two or three others, knocked at the door of TKE at
Kansas U, all wanting "racks" (beds) and a party. Their lifestyles
were considerably different than the KU ones and there was no
way they could all be fed and accommodated. A lamentable impasse to say the least. But there were a couple of dozen TKE
chapters within driving distance. The moral--make arrangements
ahead, far ahead, for that visit or pledge sneak.
Larger fraternities become less hospitable if visiting brothers do
not consider their "space."
I have been to over 200 TKE chapters, but Buckwheat, I think, has
been to them all. At any rate, extend your hand, do.
