What Is Tau Kappa Epsilon?

TKE is friendship forever.
It is a deep friendship and mutual understanding among a group of men who have similar ideals, hopes, and purposes. Such a bond of friendship and understanding furnishes the indispensable incentive which helps the college man develop into a poised and self-confident adult--equipped with a keener mind, a greater appreciation, and broader sympathies, and fortified by a group of true and understanding friends which will abide throughout life.

Any definition, however, would be inadequate without describing what a fraternity does or what characteristics it possesses. To this end TKE is:

  • Adventure In Group Living.
  • Education In Leadership.
  • Crucible Of Democracy.
  • Idealism In Action.
  • A Magnificent Obsession.
  • A Mutually-Selective Organization
