Belittleing TKE is uncalled for first.

Second, I am glad I did not see LXA in your so called hot shot lising.

Just remember, what goes around will and can go around.

You do so make me proud of being a LXA but at times not a member of The Greek Community.

60+ years old and still referring to yourself as a "member if the greek community" = TFM????

Sorry that You feel this way.


Yes, I have been a Member of the Greek Community for 41 years.

Am I proud of that, of course I am.

Have I been working with Greek Members, yes I have.

Now I just wonder what your problem is except a small mind and Area of knowledge?

Just a suggestin, grow up and smell the roses instead of the rear of a dandiolon.

It is a well known fact that Old Row fraternities dominate the South. And it is a very big deal in Tuscaloosa as it is in Auburn. And TKE sucks at Auburn also. Auburn Old Row: KA, SN, PiKA, SAE, Phi Delt. SX and Sig Ep are not Old Row even though they believe that they are.

Agreed. It would be disasterous for TKE to colonize there. With it's reputation among Southern frat life, it would most likely be a failure.

I think its actually a much bigger deal in UA than at AU. I think for us its more symbolic. It still signifies the same things, but the power structure is a lot different in Tuscaloosa. Based on that I would think that TKE's struggles at Auburn would be multiplied at Bama.

Southern expansion

Alpha Delt was once a power in the south(UVA, Alabama, etc.), but the recent unpleasantness set us back a bit. We have recently begun a return, finding that the changing demographics of many southern schools has lead to a larger number of northern men attending the top schools in the south and not being courted by the traditional "old row" fraternities, to use the term here. We have also had some success approaching locals who have split from their nationals over some of the recent changes coming from national organizations(dry house, abolition of pledging, etc.). Our effort at W&L was not successful, but we have recently come on to Duke, working on a group at Vandy, and starting recruitment at Chapel Hill in the spring.

If we say that being Greek is for life when we initiate, and we are proud of that fact, then at what point does one "stop being a member of the Greek community?"
There is the saying, _ _ _ (insert your own GLO here), until I die? Maybe your interpretation is different from mine.
