Erik, thanks very much for the information and your assistance. I have an interest in all fraternities in general and in Teke in particular since my nephew, who's now 36, is a Teke.
It seems that there was indeed a deal with Burr-Patt at one time as this badge bears the "dB" maker's mark. It is engraved Z.11 and 5-13-16. It was found in a house right down the road from the Coe campus.
The 1915 Baird's lists the total membership as 332. Using a slightly later edition, we can estimate an average number of additional members for each year, 43. But that would be for all of 1916, not just up to May, making one wonder if fraternities at that time held fall initiations in addition to spring? If so, the number would be less.
There always seems to be another aspect of fraternity history to look into. What was the usual number of initiations per year back then?
