I did some research and an absorption into another larger fraternity looks highly unlikely simply because there are so many duplications. If they choose to go with one of the formerly predominately Jewish groups, the only one without several duplications is tiny Tau Delta Phi (which is ironic because when that group nearly became extinct in the 70s, some of them merged with TEP chapters). Some of the smaller nationals have few duplications but it is doubtful they would be interested in some of the TEP locations and likely the TEP chapters at some of the larger schools would not be interested in a small national. The medium sized fraternities with the fewest duplications are Beta, DU, PKSigma, PKTau. PSKappa & Theta Xi. If nothing can be resolved and the organization cannot continue as a national I suspect most of the healthy chapters (and they are at some very sought-after locations) will shop for another strong national connection, and the smaller chapters at lesser known schools will either fold or join up with one of the smaller nationals. This is all very sad to see. They had a longtime executive director who was very popular amongst fraternity leaders, who loved and devoted his life to TEP.
