there are several sororities which have Eta ___ chapters. I think
this is dumb, but whatever....duh The biggest loser president
Bill Clinton was not a greek. Harry Truman was an honorary
Lambda Chi. JFK I think was an honorary one of Phi Kappa Theta. The Bushes are both Dekes, but hardly inspiring ones.
Dutch Reagan, the most charming pres ever, was every bit as
genial in person and ask any TKE who met him, and that would
be THOUSANDS. He really loved the Fraternity, and he was one quick to show it...The Greatest Greek ever, even moreso than frater Jesus.....
The Sig Eps have removed any overt objections to pledging and
intitiating homosexuals (rump rangers). We TKEs can pledge anyone we want, we do not need legislation. I'm proud to have
been on the road for TKE in the 50s when I did not have to ask
one's religion, or whatever, during rush...and the Sigs, SAEs,
Lambda Chis, Pikes, etc. all had to grovel and guess if the guy
was Jewish, or whatever....Our Beta friends and a few others were as up front as the Tekes, and I salute them. Nowadays the
playing field is leveled. Founder Mayer, in all his honesty, said that TKE did not think of inserting a discrimination clause, and
may have but by that time Asayo Fukuda was already in Alpha andGamma had a Jewish member...So there, we were not the greatest, but honest and great nevertheless! YITB, Erik of CO
