INDIANAPOLIS, IN – Fraters from across TKE Nation have been working all year to reach our $1Million Dollar pledge to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, but we still have a way to go. With the end of the school year rapidly approaching, now is the time to get your group’s donation in to your local St. Jude office.
While many choose to spend their spring break on the beach, a few chose to spend their time giving back. Alternative spring breaks are growing in popularity across the country. These trips allow students to experience different cultures, think critically, and learn about social issues.
Imagine it’s a typical Tuesday on your campus, you are the President of ABC Chapter of Tau Kappa Epsilon and you are heading to 10:00 a.m. class. You get a call on your way to class and the voice across the phone says "Hi, this is Vince from XYZ Company and we have heard about your party next weekend and would like to come film it for our new reality series we are promoting". We know that this scenario is playing out on some of our campuses, and with our chapters, today. Reality television and the popularity of using fraternities to highlight the excitement of being a college student is exploding.
As we enter the Giving Season, The Offices of the Grand Chapter wants you to know that we’ve made donating to St. Jude even easier!
Is your group still looking for a St. Jude Event for the Fall Semester? On November 17th, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital will host their annual "Give thanks. Walk" simultaneously in a number of cities across the United States. This year, St. Jude has expanded this event to 89 locations in 40 states.
Each academic year Tau Kappa Epsilon’s Grand Council produces Key Result Areas for the entire TKE Nation. These are created to help keep the Fraternity stays on track as the world’s largest and best in the Greek world. More importantly, it ensures that future generations of Tekes will have a solid foundation for years to come.
Building on a very successful 2011-12, the Offices of the Grand Chapter is proud to announce a number of promotions, additions and changes within the Fraternal Services Department.
