2020-2021 TKE Award Winners

INDIANAPOLIS - The Offices of the Grand Chapter is excited to announce the 2020-2021 Individual and Chapter Award Winners.

We would like to recognize those Fraters and groups who made a significant impact in TKE Nation this past year. Though we faced many challenges, TKE Nation achieved much that we can be proud of. Our Fraters rose to meet those challenges and many individuals and groups rise above and reach new heights.

"On behalf of the International Headquarters of Tau Kappa Epsilon, I want to congratulate all of our 2020-2021 Award Winners," said Chief Executive Officer Donald E. Aldrich. "We are proud of your tireless dedication to the Expectation of Excellence this past year. These chapters and individual Fraters faced the challenge of uncertain times with confidence in the values of TKE and diligence to succeed where others did not. Their dedication to superior performance fosters a positive impact on their campuses and in their communities. Thank you to the alumni, volunteers, and advisors who worked tirelessly and gave selflessly to make these honors a reality. Tau Kappa Epsilon has a bright future due to groups such as these that advance our mission!"
