As a well rounded man you must merge a solid academic background with intellectual and social maturity, and with confidence in yourself to deal with the problems that will face you in later years. TKE is a very unique fraternity because we provide an environment that will encourage you to strive for academic excellence, while at the same time discovering new social and leadership opportunities in a variety of campus settings. Our fraternity is involved in enhancing scholastic achievement, participating in philanthropy events, hosting social events, developing men into tomorrow's leaders, participating in sporting events, and much more. A fraternity gets you involved, which helps you to develop important skills. It also allows you to develop contacts with other students, and a variety of alumni involved in all areas of the business world.
People join organizations for different reasons.
Most of our members joined Tau Kappa Epsilon because they enjoyed the events, liked the people they met, and felt that our chapter had the best to offer them at this important time in their life. You will also become part of a larger network of over 300 chapters and 200,000 members as part of the largest fraternity in the world. This perception has led TKE to become the world's largest international fraternity. Our founders felt that fraternities had degenerated from institutions of scholarly attainment to mere social clubs. Our mission is no different than it was in 1899 and the challenge is no less intimidating.
