It really does depend on the chapter. Trust me, TKE has very few national rules regarding membership.
I really doubt it only takes one or two guys to "blackball" you from the chapter. It's likelier that a large percentage (maybe not the majority, but a good percentage) of the chapter didn't see you fit for membership.
And sometimes the guys you're friends with can either help or hurt your chances. Who knows, maybe the brothers you're close to aren't very respected in the chapter, thus hurting your chances even further.
There are a lot of factors and only the guys in the chapter would know why you didn't get bidded.

There is no way they can.
Unless they nominate Ronald Reagan to rule TKE from the dead, then everyone would flock to them.

I'd support that decision.

Your mild obsession with insulting a particular fraternity reflects really poorly on you. Why do you hate them so much? I don't get it. It's hardly fraternal spirit. Every group has great guys and not-so-great. Smart and average. Rich and just getting by. Good looking and average. Jocks and brainiacs.
I'm sincerely wondering what the problem is.

a) I don't hate them.
b) I don't have fraternal spirit other than for my own fraternity.

Some are more equal than others.

And so it goes.
Thank you for being candid.

TKE National has given our chapters only one instruction regarding new members and it was given in 1907 before the Beta chapter was established. It has never been a secret, has never been changed and it is this.
A TKE chapter is precluded from considering the wealth, social status or connections of the parents, other family members or friends of the man presented before them as a potential initiate.
They may only judge that man on his own personal worth and character as to whether he is a suitable brother.
It has always been our way, we like it and we don't care who doesn't.

Sounds like an honorable policy to me.
