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 I don't think they are all aware that the fraternity is no longer active at Tech.

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.
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.
Pike and AGR are also on campus and the other colony besides Acacia is Pi Kappa Phi
When I was in school the TKEs had trouble with their house in several ways. They had money problems (but, most of us did at that time) and the fire marshall gave them a lot of problems about the structure of the house, fire code, and so on. I don't know if it was condemned by the fire marshall, but that is the path they were on back then.
I had several friends who were TKEs and I'm sorry to hear that they completely folded. But, their membership had some questionable characters so I'm not too terribly surprised.
Frats, what a waste of money and time, go find some real friends. just my personal opinion
your welcome, anytime....
I didn't have the $ to join a frat so I was a GDI.
