Herr Conard,

You are correct. I was just quoting their website from the past years. They have since been kicked off and recolonized this past year. Give them a year or two and they will re-gain their status as number one....guaranteed.

Thanks for the insight!!!

I think you are correct in that the newly-colonized Betas at OSU
will rise again to prominence. My informants there tell me they had tremendous alumni support and are gonna raze the
old house (not so old, either), build one new.
TKE was thinking about returning to OSU, could not get their act
together, and when Beta decided to return, TKE backed off. I
never did think this was a good Greek campus although some
fine chapters there thrived. I am sure Beta will do well. TKE
did re-colonize at OU.
Beta and Pike seem to have the best techniques at the act
of returning while the rest of us sit in awe, not learning and
simply scratching our nuts. Regards, Erik P Conard,. tke

You've got to be kidding. I've always been somewhat in awe of the Greek system at OSU. Most of the chapters over there have thrived. I think Theta Chi closed up there pretty recently (numbers)... But other than that I don't know of a single weak chapter.

The big intramural rivalry on our campus is usually between Pi Kappa Alpha and Sigma Chi. Sigma Chi will have somebody participate in every event, and the Pikes end up winning a lot of events. Being a smaller house, there are a few events that we never participate in, and a few others that we play in but aren't very good However, there are a couple of sports that we haven't lost for a while, such as billiards, bowling, and foosball. All in all, we do well enough in the events we do play to finish about in the middle of the pack standings wise.

Re: betas at okla state

Yes, you are right. The OKState Betas have an incredible alumni backing. It seems as though the "gray hairs" are crawling out from under rocks and falling out of trees to help this group succeed. In fact, if they raise enough money, they will tear down their current boarded up house and build, quite possibly, the nicest fraternity house in North America.

Geez, for the time being, because the Beta house was basically destroyed from the last group of guys, they ended up buying the ZBT house to hold them over......must be nice!

Oh I have... Many have larger and better systems. I just wouldn't call the OSU system weak. If I'm not mistaken, they have the highest percentage of the student population involved in Greek Life in Oklahoma.

I wouldn't say they exactly hold a candle to Missouri... But not many people do.

To call it weak though seems to indicate to me that you either haven't been there or haven't been there in a long time.

I'm going to sound arrogant here, but we win intramurals every year and the competition usually isn't too terribly close...it really sucked this year that TKE wasn't allowed to participate due to there ignorance at their controversial halloween party because they are the only ones who ever contend, and generally it's somewhat of a battle...somewhat...we'll look forward to them getting back on campus this year.

We've won every soccer tournament from the IM tourney, to SK "Kick in the Grass" to Greek Week 3v3...We lost our first Flag Football match in like 9 years or something ridiculous this past year to TKE.....

Some Fraternities don't really even go out though which sucks because it takes away the achievement of the victory...

Re: Greek Intramurals

We don't have intramural sports The only time we compete against other Greeks at our school is during Greek Week.
