From my experience with non-profits and particularly fraternities, only the folks we refer to in this part of the country as the 'good 'ol boys' have much chance at advancement, even if there are completely legitimate mechanisms in place for the elections, there are often devices, such as nominating committees or slates which prevent dark horse candidates from having much say.

Tau Delta Phi (previously Phi Delta Theta then Phi Society) here at PSU absorbed our TEP chapter recently

When did they join Tau Delta Phi???? Were the alums down with that, against it or was it a "find a national or get gone" thing?
And on this topic ditto to everything Kevin said.

Spring 09 they became a colony
http://www.collegian.psu.edu/archive..._with_tau.aspx
According to the Tau Delta Phi Facebook page, they were initiated in August 09
Not sure of the alums feelings. BFs sisters husband is a PSU Phi Delta Theta Alum & he seems to always be out of the loop of things. I'll do some digging because I'm pretty sure there were Collegian articles that discussed this.

Probably a little OT
Former conservative republican senator Rick Santorum was a TEP when I was at Penn State. Didn't know the guy at the time - never set foot in the TEP house.

What did that one comment mean "George from Sig Ep"? Are they saying this guy isn't even a TEPhi brother???

ahhh, that makes more sense.
Completely random trivia: There was once a Sigma Phi Epsilon chapter of Alpha Sigma Alpha. Why they chose that designation I don't know.

I believe the Sig Ep Chapter of TEP they are referring too is Rutgers University. I am not sure if it's the New Brunswick Campus or the Camden Capmus.

Probably Brunswick. Don't even know if Camden has a real Greek system.

I am a TEP from CCNY (Phi Chi chapter). The reports of our demise have been greatly exaggerated.

This is precisely what we are in the process of doing. There are legal cases pending so I won't say much, but stay tuned for more info.

Camden. New Brunswick shut down awhile ago.
Glad to see other Greeks are at least aware of the situation, and I'm glad to be here!

Ditto. Hate to see a brotherhood destroyed like this.
