Overview of TKE

Tau Kappa Epsilon challenges you to make the most of your life. Becoming a brother, gaining confidence through experience, developing as an individual and a leader, and making the most out of opportunities-- these are the hallmarks of being a Teke.

Why choose Tau Kappa Epsilon?

The strength of Tau Kappa Epsilon is its brotherhood. TKE men are committed to the principles of scholarship, community service, leadership, friendship, and physical well-being. As a Teke, you will pursue a good education, volunteer in your community, participate in social activities with other fraternities or student groups on campus, serve in a leadership role in your chapter, challenge other fraternities to athletic contests-- and more.

"The Noble Eight-Fold Path of Tekedom," as written by fraternity founders Clarence A. Mayer and James C. McNutt, outlines the following principles:

A Teke will always be recognized as:

1. A man of sterling character.
2. A man whose honesty is never questioned.
3. A man who never violates the integrity of his inner self.
4. A man who is first, last, and always a true citizen.
5. A man who is always glad to support all TKE activities.
6. A man who will always extend a helping hand to a fellow Teke.
7. A man who is always a gentleman, kindly and considerate of others.
8. A man who never forgets that Tau Kappa Epsilon is a Fraternity for Life.

Among our members are astronauts, professional athletes, entertainment personalities, and leaders in government, business, education, science, and the arts. Some of the most well known include President Ronald Reagan; entertainers Elvis Presley, Lawrence Welk, and Danny Thomas; businessmen Conrad Hilton and Charles Walgreen; and quarterbacks Terry Bradshaw and Phil Simms.

Choosing Tau Kappa Epsilon means you accept the challenge to pursue your own success. It means you want to make the most of yourself and realize your potential.
