TKE has a very aggressive expansion policy, more so than any other NIC fraternity I know of.

...I'm not sure where exactly where you were going with this, but I assume you mean that it loses it's elitism/exclusiveness as there is likely TKE chapters in community college...hence why many say "If you can't go Greek, go TKE." Sure there are fine TKE chapters out there (I can't name any myself, but I'm sure there are). It's all fueled from the HQ's policies.

There used to be 2 TKE chapters in community colleges (both in Florida), but they were both closed.

And yes, our IHQ is very aggressive when it comes to expansion, which I don't really agree with. I think more focus should be put on building stronger, better, maybe bigger chapters than to keep trying to establish chapters at schools with 3000 kids. But whatever, that's just me.

Our stereotype is pretty much summed up by that "If you can't go Greek, go TKE" saying; non-elitist if you want to be nice. I also think we have the "alcoholic/party guys" stereotype, but maybe that's just Florida? Don't know...

But I'm fine with those stereotypes because I know I don't fit them.

Not the NIC, but close enough, Kappa Sigma's way aggressive.
