TKE Flexes Its Muscles

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. - Tekes have been lifting weights and staying fit. Figuratively speaking, Fraters have been ensuring that members are staying involved and active in the chapter. This year, we saw the exact number of men return as active Tekes (initiated in prior years) - 6,102 this year as we did last year. With two previous years of initiate declines, that means members are having a good experience and wanting to continue the trend of success. Combined with our initiates and remaining candidates, our total active member count rose to 9,445. This represents a 216 man growth versus last year (2.34% growth).

Why is all this significant to you? You have been working hard and deserve a big pat on the back! Keeping members active in your chapter increases morale and the desire to beat out the other fraternities on campus in a variety of activities. It also means that you have the opportunity to do even better this year and increase those chances. You will have more money in your budget for chapter operations, more men to spread project responsibilities, and overall have more fun. Good work Fraters!

In addition, TKE's average chapter size grew to 37.5, our highest since 1994. That's 14 years! Well done, Fraters.
