Theta Kappa Nu Rtual Book on eBay

[Trey_P-I_47]

I too messaged him about getting scanned copies of the ritual, and I know of another nearby chapter also willing to pay for a copy. Yall completley outbid me, because I was the one holding on for dear life at 304 for like 3 days. Im just glad a brother got it and not a collector.

Theta Kappa Nu was founded in 1924 by 11 local fraternities. The alumnus who won the ritual is from Theta-Delta Zeta (formerly Oklahoma Alpha) at Oklahoma City University, one of those original eleven.

It's more than just in the family. It went home.

Brothers,

Jono is right. It went to one of the brothers from Theta-Delta Zeta, where I'm an active right now. This brother has been extremely active on eBay, buying fraternity paraphanelia new and old for quite some and time. Along with the ritual book, he got a copy of "The Neophyte Book", which is like the pledge manual of TKN. He let me look at it about a week ago and it's quite neat...especially considering there are handwritten notes from the pledge that it belonged to.

I haven't seen the ritual book yet...and In fact last I talked to him he said he hadn't gotten it yet. As soon as I find out, I'll let you guys know about it, without revealing anything that shouldn't be revealed.

But no worries, the book is in safe hands, that of a buyer from one of the 11 original fraternities that Theta Kappa Nu originated from...now Theta-Delta Zeta at Oklahoma City University.

First, one must remember that Brother Jono while not 100 % of the time is only @ 99.9 % of the time correct.

It found a good home and that is good.

I have a TKN Pledge Manual and amazing as it may seem to those that have never seen one how actually close it is to LXA Paedagogus.

That is how close that the merger became. Todays New Associate ritual is part of TKN, along with the C of A and New Assocuate Pin.That was a hand in glove merger at the time. But never forget, TKN had many great days.

It normaly took 15 years to become a member of NIC and it took them 3 years. They became one of the fastest growing Fraternities of thier time. They spread far and wide because of their beleifs and as I said fit well with LXA in the merger.

This is something I've been wondering about ever since hillhouse3 listed all those items.

If The Neophyte Book is a TKN pledge manual, and the Vir Quisque Vir Est is a TKN pledge manual, then what's the difference between the two?

[Trey_P-I_47]

Well I have the Vir Quisque Vir Est......and it too is much like our Paedagogus.....I was wondering the same thing, and as far as the description goes, mine had more pages, and I dont really know the significance of that either. So any help info would be much appreciated.
