TKE National - Pearls of Wisdom


SO... Figure it might be beneficial (and add some more posts) to throw in a summary of the National newsletter.

See the highlights below:




2009 TKE MEMBERSHIP DIRECTORY



Tekes change emails, jobs and locations so often that it is hard to keep up with them. The TKE Educational Foundation has entered into an agreement with Harris Connect to update contact information for all Tekes around the world so that they can keep up to date on news and activities from TKE.

FILLING IN THE SPACES - BLOGGING AND FACEBOOK



Think about your typical week. How many stories do you share with people in that seven-day span? I'm not talking about highly polished literary works. I'm talking about the everyday stories you tell about your experiences, views on the world, and interactions with others. LINK TO FULL ARTICLE


GETTING YOUR CHAPTER WHAT IT NEEDS



Your chapter facility needs minor or even extensive renovations. You are thinking about developing a scholarship and leadership fund. You need the finances to support a complete building project for a new chapter house. LINK TO FULL ARTICLE

YITB - DR. TODD

NEW CHAPTER ADVISOR

TKE Alumni-

Brad Ray has given his advice and guidance as Chapter Advisor for the past 3 years. He asked me last semester to try to find an eligible candidate to fill this crucial role in the chapter.

Frater Scott Carey, after much consideration, has accepted the responsibility of being chapter advisor for the upcoming school year. Scott was a graduate in 2007 and achieved the status of KCL in his final year. He has held many offices throughout his years as an active and his participation and hard work have helped to get the chapter to where it is today. Thanks to both Brad Ray and Scott Carey, as well as other past chapter advisors, for your dedication to the fraternity.

UNR Budget Cuts and The Greek System

Just to get this thing started.....

Here's Bill's email with the details about the most recent budget cuts at UNR and how they are going to affect the chapter.

====================================================================

So here's the updated situation. The Greek life office has beencut, so now we are reporting to the clubs and organizationscoordinater Sally Morgan, who just happens to be the biggest CUNT onthe university payroll. Sally Morgan has a history of dislike forthe greek system, so she will come down hard on us (and anyotherfrats) who committ relationship agreement infractions. Greek weekevents, leadership retreats, and other University sponsered greekevents have been canceled. We have lost the IFC university rushbudget, which wasn't much but now it comes out of our pockets. Andsince we still can't even afford the $1000 to pay for our 2007composites, it's going to hurt us even more. So far intermurals hasnot been cut, but it is on a very long list of programs that maystill be cut. And since the University has already cut the marchingband, everything seems to be fair game. I do see this as anopportunity for us to become stronger leaders and to take care ofourselves. My biggest worry is that it only increases the chancesthat the whole program could fall apart. In a year, I too will be analumni, and it will become increasingly more important for thealumni to raise flags when they observe the fraternity weakening. Iwould like to see more alumni at meetings, even if it is just once asemester, just so these kinds of opinions can be voiced in theproper settings. I will keep you all updated as I get moreinformation.
