The real source of wealth and capitol in this new era is not material things, it is the human mind, the human spirit, the human imagination, and our faith in the future.

HOW AM I GROWING IN FINANCIAL ACUMEN FROM BEING A MEMBER OF TAU KAPPA EPSILON?

Investing in life, Invest in yourself.

From day 1, develop an understanding of what it means to invest in yourself. Think about the skills you have and what time you could commit to a new venture, skill or group then act on those thoughts and increase your value by taking it to the next level. You will leave as a better version of yourself than when you began. 

Your return on your investment!

Develop the understanding that what you put into an investment or organization is what you get out, ROI. Committing to a fraternity and Greek life you not only gain an understanding from financial opportunities but ultimately in life itself. 

Money doesn't grow on trees.

As an active member, you will be in an opportune situation to learn money management. Financial responsibility is a key component and having experienced time as an active member you could have the chance as a leader in your local chapter to manage a large budget somewhere in the range of $50K to $500K a year. Huge Resume Booster!

Meet and learn from financial experts.

If you need financial advice or a baser understanding of life on this forefront then Tau Kappa Epsilon is there for you. As a Teke, you will have many opportunities to network with leaders in finance and investment at your local chapter, conferences, and throughout our database-driven mentorship program.

A New Tool to Understanding Money

Tau Kappa Epsilon has been exploring ways we can provide more value our members. We know there are massive financial challenges facing many students, like you, COVID-19 Pandemic, unemployment, the rising cost of college and many others. 

TKE has partnered with former professional football player and Certified Financial Planner, Jedadiah Collins, to bring his "Your Money Vehicle" online certification program to every member of our Fraternity. This 10-part virtual learning program covers a wide variety of money-related topics and questions to help you understand how your money can work for you.

It concludes with a certification in financial literacy, something you can include on resumes, LinkedIn profiles, and other professional materials.

The cost of the Certification, on its own, is $99 per person. Through our partnership with Jedadiah, it is available at no cost to every living member of the Fraternity.
