Click here to see the profile of this user 		Time Limit for Actives - 2004/12/20 18:14 Here is something a lot of other Fraternities do... They have a time limit for Actives... In other words, Sigma Nu requires someone to go Alumni after 7 semesters no matter what...

I know that TKE is until you Graduate or are out of school a certain amount of time... I personally like the idea of a time limit. It seemed that when some Fraters got too old nd still had a semester or two left (6 year plan), they never had time to be around and were burnt out. They needed time to finish school and would as Alumni... What does everyone think? Cheers,

Click here to see the profile of this user 		Time Limit for Actives - 2004/12/20 19:05 I agree with this position in most if not all circumstances. Another one that I know my girlfriends sorority does (Alpha Chi Omega) is that once you are married you are considered an Alumni because the sorority is for young women and once you are married they see it as you starting the next chapter of your life.

Not to mention it helps us guys weed out the married ones huh!

Click here to see the profile of this user 		Time Limit for Actives - 2004/12/20 19:48 I just skimmed through the blackbook's membership defined section and didn't see anything mentioning it, again I skimmed so I could be wrong.

Good link though...

Click here to see the profile of this user 		Time Limit for Actives - 2004/12/20 19:52 Well, we had this issue at one time... WHen I was an active member.. according to our Alumni you were TKE until you graduate or unless you were out of school a certain length of time. Cheers,

Click here to see the profile of this user 		Time Limit for Actives - 2004/12/20 20:22 I find it interesting that the International Constitution provides some flexibility in the definition of Collegiate Members and also provides for switching back and forth between Collegiate and Alumnus status in certain instances.
========================

ARTICLE VI Membership

SEC. 2. Collegiate Member Defined. A collegiate member is a male student in good standing at the institution which he is attending, who shall have been regularly initiated by a collegiate chapter, and who shall not have been granted inactive or alumni status. Alumni members may revert to collegiate status while attending graduate school, but are not required to do so.

SEC. 4. Alumnus Member Defined. An alumnus member is one who continues to be in good standing, who has ceased to be a student in attendance in school, or continues to be in attendance in school after graduating with a Bachelor’s Degree, and who has been regularly initiated into Tau Kappa Epsilon as (a) a collegiate member of a collegiate chapter, or (b) as an alumnus member of a colony which has been chartered as a chapter of Tau Kappa Epsilon, or (c) as an alumnus member of a local fraternity, affiliated or unaffiliated, which has been chartered as a chapter of Tau Kappa Epsilon.
