TKE News & Updates

INDIANAPOLIS – On November 22, 2014, Tekes around the nation gathered in more than 65 communities around the nation to support the lifesaving mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Last year, TKE raised more than $45,000 during the St. Jude Give thanks. Walk. This year, we planned to soar past that number and make this a year to remember. Sure enough, every Frater from around the nation took the challenge, and together we raised over $69,000 for St. Jude.

INDIANAPOLIS – Hours ago a number of insiders received a special email announcing the arrival of digitally published edition of THE TEKE. Now, we are excited to share the digital edition with all of TKE Nation before it hits your mailbox.

INDIANAPOLIS – Through the key focuses of our fraternity, chapter success is measured through a metric based system known as Key Result Areas (KRAs). On the Chapter Module Dashboard, a KRA scorecard is presented to show groups where they are at in achieving their goals. There is still time to change your group’s overall score and climb the ranks in TKE nation.

November is a month where facial hair runs wild across the country. As many individuals choose to celebrate an intermission in shaving during November, did you know you could support the children of St. Jude at the same time?

On Saturday, November 22, supporters in more than 65 communities across the country will participate in the annual St. Jude Give thanks. Walk. This exciting event helps raise funds to support the lifesaving mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. With a five-year, $1 million pledge, Tau Kappa Epsilon is all in!

Up next for the Tau Kappa Epsilon St. Jude Challenge is the Epsilon-Delta chapter at University of Massachusetts Amherst. Fraters, you are on the clock.

BLACKSBURG, Va. – Forget settling for less, and forget matching what others have done in years past. There’s nothing like pushing the limit on what you believe is possible. The Xi-Omega chapter at Virginia Tech University did just that. With clear eyes and full hearts, these men demonstrated what philanthropy is all about.

After a great two-week period raising funds for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Nu-Mu and Sigma-Gamma have passed the torch. Mu-Omega of George Mason University and Iota-Kappa of Clarkson University have been called out. Fraters, you are on the clock.

After 115 years of operation, TKE faces an internal challenge. As you have probably heard, a very small number of our 268 groups in the U.S. and Canada are being investigated for alleged conduct misaligned with TKE’s values.

The Tau-Omega & Upsilon-Iota chapters of Tau Kappa Epsilon did a phenomenal job in the first St. Jude Challenge. Tau-Omega found success through St. Jude’s free online fundraising utilities, and Upsilon-Iota is still counting dollars from their annual Miles for Memphis event.

Now, after a great first week, Tau-Omega and Upsilon-Iota have passed the torch. Nu-Mu of the University of South Alabama and Sigma-Gamma of SUNY – Plattsburgh have been called out. Fraters, you are on the clock.
