Here and Epsilon Omicron, University of Houston, we started out back as a local fraternity called Rho Beta. It stood for Party Boys. We then got our charter back in 1956 and some of the old Rho Beta rituals and symbols stuck around for a little from what im told, but as of now I have seen nothing. Fortunately, I had the pleasure of being Pylortes at the latest Initiation Fall 06, in which Bob Lightfoot, a founding member of Rho Beta was intiated as an honorary member of Tau Kappa Epsilon and he even managed to get a low scroll that was for some reason left empty.

Xi-Upsilon here at RIT used to be the Alpha chapter of Zeta Tau, a local fraternity. We became TKE in 1973.

The Kappa Delta Chapter at Old Dominion University used to be the local fraternity Pi Phi Sigma founded in 1955, It was comprised if generally older individuals than the general student population. Most were either married or Korean War veterans who took great pride in their academic accomplishments. As time went on the membership began to change becoming more representative of the general college population

In 1964 Pi Phi Sigma Fraternity petitioned to join Tau Kappa Epsilon. The charger members of the Kappa Delta Chapter were the last group of initiated members into Pi Phi Sigma. Kappa Delta Chapter was founded on March 6, 1965.
