Life members are not exempt from the payment of local dues. Life membership is not financially practical for the Fraternity and must be eliminated as an option. Kappa Epsilon will meet the annual financial obligations and pay the expense of at least one representative to attend the annual meetings and will promote the participation of Kappa Epsilon members in national, city, and campus units of the association. Kappa Epsilon Fraternity does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national heritage, gender, religion, creed, sexual orientation, marital or family status, or disability. A nondiscriminatory statement is consistent with the intent of the Fraternity.
Many universities require the bylaws of collegiate chapters to have a nondiscriminatory statement.
All other changes to the Bylaws being editorial in nature. These include editorial changes and correction of typographical errors. All changes are indicated in italics.
