Tau Kappa Epsilon is an international fraternity rich in history and tradition. The ideals of TKE - a strong emphasis on the character and personal worth of the individual, our insistence that the first loyalty should be devoted to education, and our aspirations for a highly democratic organization - have provided an impelling inspiration for members of TKE everywhere throughout the years.
Tau Kappa Epsilon is a relatively young fraternity. Though it was founded in 1899, more than 80 percent of its chapters have been installed since 1947. Competing with its senior fraternities throughout the United States and Canada, Tau Kappa Epsilon has demonstrated a competitive spirit, vitality, and ability to succeed seldom found in the fraternity world. In total national strength - a College Survey Bureau index based on size times quality - TKE moved from 11th place among fraternities in 1956 to 1st place in 1966 and has remained first ever since.
Today, Tau Kappa Epsilon's leadership in the fraternity world is evident. The largest social fraternity, TKE has over 300 active chapters and colonies, thousands of undergraduate members and over 200,000 alumni - all feats which have been accomplished in a remarkably short period of time.
A priceless heritage, an unparalleled record of growth and progress, a bright and promising future...this is TAU KAPPA EPSILON.
