9 different fraternities lay claim to being largest

[Tom Earp]

It was always strange to me the the Union Triad being the first main group of Social Fraternities now usually have the least chapters and the advent of the Miami Triad continues to grow.


True, that the 1939 merger of LXA and TKN was and still is the largest merger ever undertaken and was almost a perfect fit between TKN mostly on smaller Colleges and LXA at larger colleges. But there werre some with both organizations on them. Some did merge and some split off to join other fraternities. Some schools (a few) did not allow the merger of the two.

Maybe the idea of snobbery is true but more like wanting to be elite in their own right.

Some will want to join each of those organizations for just that reason.
