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.

I agree with the above post if they don't want you the first time and with a senior bro recommendation they wouldn't like you the second time. Yea I suggest you go to another place. Look from your posts it sounds very selective out of 40 callbacks 10 made it. But it doesn't hurt to rush again so if you really want to be in that house rush again. but do what preston327 said assess yourself. Also i agree with the word frat some people hate when rushes use that word but in our house we don't really care if people say frat and that is not one of the deciding factor if a rush says the word frat.
