The opening day of Conclave will allow Tekes to begin giving back immediately. You should plan your travel to arrive between 12 p.m. and 4 p.m. Eastern Time. Our registration opens at noon and our service project will begin immediately. This "come as you are" service event gives Tekes an opportunity to send letters to the troops and build kits for new pet owners. Then, you can explore the city for a great spot to eat such as at Pointe Orlando or Disney Springs®, only a few minutes away. Beginning at 7:30 p.m., be in ritual attire for the Opening Session of the Grand Chapter.

After you get checked in at the registration booth, whether this is your first Conclave or you are a seasoned veteran, please join us for the service project then pool party to meet other friends and family members who are attending Conclave.

We will start the day with a light breakfast. New Fraters and esteemed alumni will have the opportunity to attend an array of sessions addressing personal and chapter development during the Teke Institute. During the Teke Institute, Nominations and Legislative Hearing committee meetings begin. Committee members are selected at random during the Opening Session. To refuel the engines, the Awards Luncheon will take place at high noon with accolades being handed out to deserving groups and individuals.

9:30am Block

Train the Trainer – Teaching your Chapters to Recruit
Woody Woodcock
We know recruitment to be the lifeblood of our Fraternity, but do we know how to best instruct our undergraduate chapters and colonies to recruit effectively? All alumni are welcome in this workshop where Woody from Phired Up provides his tools and tricks to improve numbers in the groups you advise.

Safe and Smart Risk Management

Greg Roskopf
Our chapters and colonies have done an excellent job in the last few years practicing safe and responsible risk management habits, and it’s all thanks to the hard work and effort you have put in to eCompliance and ongoing education. Greg Roskopf will discuss how we can continue on this positive trajectory, providing information on how to ensure your group avoids pitfalls and continues to operate without issue.

Chapter Operations: From the Frontlines to Behind the Scenes
Santos Lara and Zach Scott
Are you looking to move your group from good to great? Here we will discuss the internal and external work that goes into managing a fully functioning chapter or colony. This will include pieces on running efficient meetings, sound financial practices, training officers, and embracing your campus environment. We are looking to broaden your horizons on how to work smarter and set your group up for success.

Recruiting Alumni and Building Better Community
Chris Niles and Barry Altland
Recruitment is just as important with our own alumni as it is with potential new members. How can we use our knowledge and experience with recruitment when it comes to engaging new volunteers? Learn how to increase engagement and build a larger, more successful, and more sustainable chapter along with your alumni Fraters.

10:30am Block

Comprehending Risk Management and Legal Liability for Volunteers
Greg Roskopf
Ever wonder why risk management policies are necessary and what exposure you may have as a fraternity volunteer? Attend this session and have these questions and more answered by Marc Mores, Tau Kappa Epsilon’s insurance broker. This information packed session will review general risk management principles, the financial realities of today’s insurance market for fraternities, legal liability for individual members and volunteers, and the rules surrounding the Title IX legislation relating to sexual misconduct and assault.

Creating a Valuable TKE Brotherhood
Nick Kimble
Men join TKE for many different reasons: a social outlet, fellowship, friendship, networking, a resume booster, and a commitment to service and philanthropy to name a few. But how do you combine all of those factors into a top-tier overall experience? If your chapter isn’t providing the proper value—it will show. Problems are never isolated. This session will help you identify new strategies to create a stronger brotherhood in your chapter that will lead to more value, more impact, and the unrivaled TKE experience.

Our Values in Action
Chris Niles and Barry Altland
Love, charity and esteem are action verbs. How can we help ourselves and each other explore our TKE values and live up to them in our daily lives? We are better men – and a stronger Fraternity – when we do. Learn simple and practical ways to help yourself and your fellow Fraters be better aligned to express the best of TKE and get even more out of the Fraternity experience.

Guiding Candidates to Future Success
Shane McClure and Ethan Wells
How you educate your new members will be the single most important component in your group’s success or failure, and building better education habits should start at the very beginning of the recruitment process. This workshop will provide guidance on a timeline, plan, and follow-up strategy as your candidates become initiates.

1:30pm Block

Culture to Strategy: Alumni Alignment Throughout the Year
Greg Roskopf and Donnie Aldrich
Culture drives the most successful companies and organizations on the planet. How do we better leverage our time to drive this dynamic culture and create further success? During this session, we will review the TKE Year at a Glance and discuss action steps that can be taken to collectively and individually set ourselves up to maximize chapter/colony performance and enhance the experience of every member of TKE.

Asking the Right Recruitment Questions
Woody Woodcock and Nick Kimble
In the month following Conclave, many of our members will be gearing up to head back to school for the fall semester. Do you have a recruitment plan ready? A goal? And are the members in your group prepared to meet that goal? Woody and Nick will provide hands-on training to prepare you to get the right men in the door and into your chapter or colony.

Funding the Future of our Fraternity
TKE Foundation
Did you know generous donors subsidize the cost for Fraters like you to attend Conclave? Chapters like yours have scholarship and special project funds that support the academic and leadership development of YOUR members. This session is designed to help Fraters recognize the untapped potential of these funds by increasing donor support to promote leadership development within their chapter. Our Foundation supports scholarship and leadership training programs that enhance your membership experience every day, and together, we can engage donors and grow funds that directly impact your chapter and its members.

Social Media Strategy
Santos Lara and Zach Scott
We will take an in depth look at the positive and negative role social media can play for your group and discuss the opportunities to expand your reach and influence others through the great work you do. You will leave with a better understanding of how to utilize the TKE Brand as well as the resources available to take your social media game to the next level.

Collegiates - The Road Trip of a Lifetime

Yes, Conclave is set to be an experience unlike any other. What are you waiting for? Start planning the road trip of a lifetime today!

Conclave will give you the opportunity to experience TKE on the international level. With more than 600 attendees, you will be able to meet TKE VIPs like Past Grand Prytani, the Grand Council, TKE Educational Foundation Board members, Circle of Excellence inductees and the TKE Professional Staff. You will also be able to meet Tekes from across the US and Canada and learn best practices for how to make your chapter or colony more successful.

During the Awards Luncheon and Second Session of the Grand Chapter, your chapter could be called on stage to receive awards such as Top TKE Chapter.

The Black Book of Tau Kappa Epsilon requires each chapter to send a voting delegate. You can view the legislative packet here.

As collegiate members, you can punch your ticket to Conclave with 12-Pack, 8-Pack, Quad, Double or Single rates. Please remember, your registration is not confirmed until payment is received in full. If you wish to guarantee roommates, you must register all roommates at once.

Ways to Pay for Conclave

Conclave Savings Plan

Every chapter in Tau Kappa Epsilon is billed a Conclave Savings Plan of $250 per semester. This savings plan is built up to help cover the cost of your voting delegate to register for Conclave. Chapters should pay their CSP in full prior to registering for Conclave.

When you register for Conclave, your Conclave Savings Plan balance will appear on the payment page. This savings plan cannot be retained from Conclave to Conclave and should be used to lower the cost of registering.

Special Projects

Your Special Projects Fund is money kept by the TKE Educational Foundation to support your chapter’s educational initiatives. Included in those initiatives are registration costs to TKE conferences, such as Conclave. If you have alumni looking to donate and support their home chapter, utilize Special Projects as an outlet for tax-deductible donations to be made.

When you register for Conclave, your Special Projects Fund balance will appear on the payment page, and you can choose to utilize any or all of the money in that account, provided there is a $200 minimum balance available and it is approved by your Board of Advisors Chairman.

Now is the time to start your fundraising campaign to bolster your account.

Chapter Credits

You may have noticed a ‘credits available’ line in your financial summary on the TKE Module. Chapter Credits can be added to your statement for various reasons and once added, they can be applied to outstanding invoices, including Conclave registrations. To utilize chapter credits, select it as a method of payment when you come to the final step in your registration. Our financial team will approve the usage of these credits, and you will have saved yourself and your chapter some money by upholding your financial obligations to the Fraternity.

School Funding

Many colleges and universities set aside money in their student activities budget to support students in campus organizations who attend educational conferences. Don’t wait until the last minute to look into this possibility.

Go to your Fraternity & Sorority Life or Student Government offices today and ask about financial support for Conclave. Oftentimes, all you have to do is fill out an application with the details of the conference, and your school will help offset some or all of the costs for you and your brothers to attend.

Family Support

With Conclave taking place just a month or two after graduation, don’t forget to ask your family and friends to help you attend an event that will make you not only a better Frater, but a better man. You’ll find looking to make your chapter/colony, campus and community a better place is usually a cause worthy of financial backing from your parents, grandparents, and others close to you.

Alumni - Make It a Reunion

We have no doubt that TKE's 60th Conclave will be a memory of a lifetime.

During the three-day event, alumni delegates of registered alumni associations will have the opportunity to vote on key leadership positions within the Fraternity, vote on proposed Black Book legislation, recognize our best and brightest Fraters and Chapters and participate in structured leadership development courses.

You can view the legislative packet here.

Service Project Options

In each city we hold Conclave, the men of Tau Kappa Epsilon perform a service project. We've made a few changes this year to the service project so more Fraters can participate and make an impact.

This year, we will hold the service project on Thursday during registration. This will provide you an opportunity to roll up your sleeves, network with other Tekes and make an impact on both the local community and abroad.

Kits for Kats and Packages for Puppies: Volunteers will put together adoption kit packages for new pet owners who have adopted pets. These kits for kats and packages for puppies will provide the necessary tools for the pet adopter to get started on the right foot and help incentivize animal shelters and potential adopters to take the step.
Your efforts will support these great organizations:
    • Save a Life Pet Rescue
    • Osceola County Animal Services
    • Pet Rescue by Judy
    • Poodle and Pooch of Florida
    • Oskars Feather and Fur Friends Rescue
    • Pet Alliance of Greater Orlando
    • Orange County Animal Services

    Letters for Heroes: Sometimes a small act such as writing a letter to someone can go a long way. Many of our veterans and active military men and women love receiving letters of support and thanks. This small act of kindness has a huge impact for those who receive these handmade letters.

    Letters for the children of St. Jude: Join other Fraters from around TKE Nation as we write to the children of St. Jude. This is just one more way in which TKe can help show our support for the mission of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

        Attire: Comfortable TKE apparel

    On Saturday night, the Grand Inaugural will take place in the ballroom of the Renaissance Orlando at SeaWorld. The Fraternity’s highest awards, such as the Order of the Golden Eagle, will be presented to deserving Fraters.

    Be a Part of History When We Announce Our New Commitment to St. Jude


    At Conclave 2019, we will make history and announce our newest commitment to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. This major announcement sets Tau Kappa Epsilon apart as the fraternity with the largest fundraising commitment for St. Jude.

    At Conclave 2011, Chief Executive Officer Steve Ramos (Zeta-Theta, Western Illinois) announced our first commitment to St. Jude of $1 million raised over the following five years. Tekes answered the call and were able to raise $1 million over four years. At the Donald R. Tapia Triangle Summit in 2016, Grand Prytanis Rodney G. Talbot (Beta-Chi, Southern Illinois Carbondale) announced a $2.6 million commitment over six years. In just over three years, Tekes have already raised and completed this $2.6 million commitment.

    We believe Frater Danny Thomas (Gamma-Nu, Toledo) would be proud of his Fraternity. We want you there to celebrate this outstanding part of our TKE history where we will celebrate completing our $2.6 million commitment and announce our brand new commitment.

    Read more about our completion of the $2.6 million commitment over six years here.
