UNIVERSITY OF IOWA, Lambda-Eta On October 29, 2010, Lambda-Eta Chapter of TKE at the University of Iowa wrapped up a visit from Frater Buckwheat Perry with the typical magnificent dinner, a rush event, and a photo in front of the house. Frater Perry’s visit was a big morale booster, gave the guys some of the best meals they’d had that semester, and instilled an improved get-it-done-now style work ethic that has continued. That led to the chapter having the largest new member classes in 2011 since re-chartering in 2007, which increased membership by almost 50 percent.
