First off,  T.N.E. has always had a strong division in its organization early on. If you happen to be T.N.E. from Wesleyan today, you probalbly know very little about all the details of the organization. You are basing it on Wesleyans records alone, while I am using both sources from both Alfa chapters. I'm sorry if you don't like that reality, or if you want to believe that the T.N.E. that you know of today is the correct or only version of the society, but that is simply not historically true, and Purdue is even mentioned as "Indiana Alpha" within Wesleyan's own current T.N.E. website. T.N.E. has also sufferered greatly from disorganization by these two Alphas, and the T.N.E. of Purdue today that requires tapped membership has nothing to do with the T.N.E. organization of Weslyans Alpha Chapter. I even suspect that there may be a second T.N.E. chapter at Purdue that is associated with Weslyan's current outfit.  T.N.E. of Wesleyan now is acting much more like a social fraternity than a traditional secret society of Skull & Bones, and yes, Purdue's chapter was established on the 50th anniversary of Skull and Bones as an important engineering and aviation branch. It is believed that Neil Armstrong, the first person that walked on the moon, was T.N.E of tapped Purdue membership. Moreover, If you want to believe that the page as it stands in your version is correct, why than is both Purdue and Bodoin  listed as the same name, "Alphs Alpha", how can this be possible? It is so becuase the Wesylian branch never had accurate records of Purdue Alpha. Also, the waterdowned version of T.N.E. that you know of today is really a start up after a substantial period of inactivity. I suspect, that at best, the mainstreamed version of T.N.E. that you know of may have some secrets of the organization's original initiation rights preserved, but have lost all of the more substatial secrets of the society, secrets that unfortunately were never recorded but passed on by verbal means from generation to generation in the same mannner of Skull and Bones today. This is why the current T.N.E. claims in their website that there are no true secrets to T.N.E., but it is more accurate to say that there are no true secrets to Weslyan's T.N.E. outfit as it stands today. This is not to say that T.N.E. or even Skull & Bones have some sort of conspiracy, but there were definetly early American secrets about the culture of this nation's forefathers that were kept private, secrets that were Masonic in tradition that both S & B and Purdue's group have maintained. That bond of trust has then also been translated into trust on a governmental level. Not a conspiracy, but just a fact of human nature, pleople prefer to deal with life's most important matters with other peple that they can depend on and trust. My suggestion is to do your homework before you delete, and continue to enjoy your T.N.E. club and leave proper history to the experts. I specialize in collegiate secret societies. Thank you
