Fraters David Adkins, Kyle Erdman and H. Puentes Say Farewell

INDIANAPOLIS - Today, May 31, 2015, officially marks Fraters David Adkins, Kyle Erdman and H. Puentes' last day on Tau Kappa Epsilon's Professional Staff. While providing countless services to TKE Nation, Frater H. Puentes spent the last two years as West Regional Director; Kyle Erdman served as a Fraternal Services Specialist following a transition from Communications Specialist; and David Adkins served as South Regional Director after joining staff as an Associate Regional Director. 

In a ritual with Professional Staff to honor the departures, Nate Lehman, Midwest Regional Director, spoke of the Spirit of the Fraternity:

"Throughout the history of the Fraternity, there have been many ups and downs, milestones and speed bumps, celebrations and memorials, trials as well as historic accomplishments, and through it all, a commitment to remain steadfast to our Fraternity, as Knights of Apollo, both in our time of service and when called upon should that day arise.

Much like our Fraternity, there is only one constant to the spirit of that which is our Fraternity Staff, and that constant is change. As we gather here today, we honor and recognize the service of those departing our ranks and transitioning from actively serving Knights of Apollo to that of alumni Fraters. Those departing Fraters will undoubtedly see many changes as they take on new life challenges. The remaining staff will witness the change that their departure will create as well as changes of our own for the coming year, only to be witnessed once again as we welcome in and train the next group of Fraters entering our ranks and one day, our own departures from this magnificent obsession.

As we honor those departing and look ahead to the future of our Fraternity, let us hold steadfast to our ideals and commitment to serve our Fraternity. Let us embrace those changes with our minds full of Charity and Esteem and our hearts full of Love for our Fraternity, for our future and for one another."

On behalf of TKE Nation, thank you, David, Kyle and H., for your service to the men of Tau Kappa Epsilon. Your work has been vital in the Fraternity's mission to build Better Men for a Better World.
