Overview of the Program

Currently, the vast majority of TKE's operating budget is derived from undergraduate fees. Tau Kappa Epsilon lags behind most other fraternities in alumni support. The Life Loyal Teke program is designed to better set the expectation that Tekes will contribute to Tau Kappa Epsilon. Through the program TKE hopes to gain more alumni advisors for our chapters, as well as resources to support the alumni developmental and educational programming efforts of the Fraternity. The Life Loyal program aims to set the expectation that support of the Fraternity is a lifetime commitment, which should provide better services to our chapters, strengthen the ties of brotherhood and make TKE itself a better fraternity.

As the "Fraternity for Life" ritual is now seen as the transition point from active collegiate membership to alumnus status, the program will stress the notion that one truly dedicates themselves as a "Life Loyal Teke" when they make this transition, and that continued support of the Fraternity is a lifelong obligation. Life Loyal Teke membership does not imply that the lifetime commitment for financial support of the Fraternity has ended, but that continued support of TKE and the TKE Educational Foundation is an expected membership responsibility for every Teke, especially from Life Loyal Tekes.
