Tau Kappa Epsilon helped me establish not only a good competitive attitude, but also a feeling of confidence in my abilities. At times, TKE inspired, stimulated, and motivated me to be an achiever. Those qualities have continued to be a part of me for many years following college.

HOW AM I MAKING LONG LASTING MEMORIES BY BEING A MEMBER OF TAU KAPPA EPSILON?

Sense of Belonging.

As a new student to a university or college, you can expect a certain amount of confusion while you're traversing this new world. It doesn't have to be this way. As a member of Tau Kappa Epsilon, you will have a group of brothers to help you navigate this college life and be a part of something bigger. 

Close Friendships. Unforgettable Experiences.

If attending a rush event it is important to remember that truly and in all honesty affiliated brothers want to be your friend. Almost instantly you will begin to establish a bond with these men. They will be there for you in brotherhood through the good times and the bad. These lasting relationships will without a doubt create positively reinforced memorable experiences that you will take with you for the rest of your life. 

Lifelong Bonds. Brothers You've Always Wanted.

Being a member of Tau Kappa Epsilon comes with many perks and benefits. The biggest of those are the friendships that are formed are lifelong and everlasting. It comes from a shared belief and experience in Tau Kappa Epsilon. This is something you will not only share with your fellow chapter brothers but also brothers from around the globe. Whenever you encounter a brother, anywhere, your shared memories from your college days and shared experiences as a brother in TKE will give you both an immediate bond. Members of TKE will be the ones you call to celebrate good news, who will stand next to you during your wedding, and will be those to carry you to your grave. These men become the brothers you've always wanted.

New Friends. Your Big Brother.

As you join Tau Kappa Epsilon, a big brother will be selected for you. Many times, it's a natural connection because of someone you have become close with or similar majors. Your big brother will be there to guide you through your fraternal experience in the chapter - as a friend and a mentor. The memories created in the Fraternity bring us all together. As you invest in this relationship with your big brother as well as other members of your chapter, these connections become the basis of lifelong friendship.  

The Choice to Belong.
The Challenge to Become.

You have the opportunity to choose to belong to any fraternity. The real challenge comes when you decide to become a Teke. The expectations of members to live our values of love, charity, and esteem every single day helps you to become a better man. Our mission to "aid men in their mental, moral and social development for life" extends to Tekes throughout their whole life, not just their time in college. When you decide to become a Teke, you are now a member of the Fraternity for Life.

84%
would do it all over
Again
Eighty-four percent of affiliated alumni say if they had to do it all over again they would still join their fraternity or sorority. Even after accounting for student loans, household income, gender, race, education, the year they graduated and even their parents' level of education affiliated alumni are more likely than nonaffiliated alumni to have had better experiences as undergraduates, in the workplace and in their lives in general.
