Can anyone tell me what happened to the TKE house? I have several old Teke's that would like to know. I don't think they are all aware that the fraternity is no longer active at Tech.

Tech bought it and made it a parking lot in, uh, 03/04. Nothing left but the chalk from the b-ball court.Originally Posted by GonzoDawg
Afterwards they moved next door to the Sigma Pi house (LOL!). That lasted a year or two until numbers went to zilch and now they're extinct.
What Fraternities are still there? And are they doing ok?
Sigma Nu, Kappa Sig, KA, Delta Chi still going strong. ATO still around but with hardly any numbers. Uh...oh, SAE is around too, but with a house way off campus so they kind of get forgotten.
Got two new ones (Acacia and some other one) trying to get started up on campus as we speak. We'll see how they work out.
What kind of numbers do most of them have, the ones still going strong that is?
When I was at Tech it seemed like TKE was doing fine. ..Too bad.
Hmm. 60-80ish, I guess. Hard to guess the ones I'm not directly involved with.
I know we've never had numbers like the rest of campus fraternities, but ATO is doing well from the number we had during my tenure. They are up to around 25. For most of ATO's existance at Tech, we have been on the smaller side.
Don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you got till it's gone. You take Paradise and put up a parking lot.
The TKE house on Homer Street was sold to Tech and was torn down to make additional parking. The TKE's then rented a house next to the Sigma Pi house on West Mississippi. The owner of the house sold the property to Tech. Tech tore the house down along with the Sigma Pi house. Tech Housing Apartments are going to be built on the site. As far as I know, there is no longer a "TKE" house in Ruston. They have scattered to the four winds.
Pike and AGR are also on campus and the other colony besides Acacia is Pi Kappa Phi
Yeah. Pike. My bad.
*Mr. T voice*....Hey Sucka...don't be fogettin about tha Pikes Fool!...
Anyways, I am glad to hear we are at least still around! Woot! With some of that crew, it's an accomplishment.
Frats, what a waste of money and time, go find some real friends. just my personal opinion
.........right.
thank you for your opinion.
I have been as against frats as anybody but it isn't like being in a frat makes you a bad person. Frat life obviously attracts some bad people but don't forget that many influential people have also come from that lifestyle. They have an entrenched spot in universities and believe it or not do occasionally do some good.
Enough frat bashing because otherwise this discussion would never end.
