THE TEKE - Fall 2015 Release / Winter Content Due
INDIANAPOLIS – On October 19, 1907, Frater Wallace G. McCauley recited an address that forever changed the trajectory of the Fraternity. This speech - accurately titled "Opportunity Out of Defeat" - set the principles of Tau Kappa Epsilon. "Let us issue a magazine, quarterly at first, name it THE TEKE, make it attractive and artistic in form," said McCauley in the address. "Let it be piquant and virile in tone, representative of our Fraternity, and a reflector of student life generally."
Following Frater McCauley's proclamation, THE TEKE was born January 1908. Since then, through two World Wars, the Great Depression and other countless obstacles, the Fraternity's magazine has thrived.
Today, we are excited to release the fall issue of THE TEKE.
This issue is a 48-page testament to the spirit of the Fraternity. Particular highlights include a look back at the 2014-15 TKE award winners, upcoming Province Forums and Triangle Summits, and a sitdown with one of the Fraternity's most decorated members, Frater Ray Franklin. Featured in this issue is a recap of Conclave 2015 in New Orleans.
