How to Start a TKE Chapter
Step 1: Let us know!
Step 2: Download and complete the TKE Expansion Assessment Form
Step 3: Speak with your campus official who oversees the Greek community to;
Let them know you want to bring TKE to your campus, and why
Find out your school’s policies and procedures for expansion
(TKE will only expand to a campus if given approval by the proper school official)
Step 4: If the school approves, TKE will conduct initial interviews with each interested individual to ensure a proper fit for TKE and the student
Step 5: Once initial interviews are complete TKE will work with all stakeholders to plan an organized expansion effort; including locating local chapter advisors and forming a board of advisors for the group, before the group’s conception.
Step 6: Upon conclusion of the expansion effort and the group reaching emerging chapter status, the group will
- Be inducted as Candidates for Membership
- Begin taking part in the “The Blueprint,” TKE’s Member Development Program: working toward the first milestone, initiation.
- Take part in a Officer and Group Retreat
Step 7: The emerging chapter members will be initiated, and will be supported by TKE’s Area Servicing Team and continue to work towards chartering.
Step 8: Once the emerging chapter has met the chartering requirements they petition the Grand Council for recognition as an active TKE Chapter.
Step 9: Upon approval by the Grand Council the Chapter will hold a Chartering Ceremony to be recognized as an active TKE Chapter
