Ways to Pay for Conclave
Conclave Savings Plan
Every chapter in Tau Kappa Epsilon has a Conclave Savings Plan of $250 per semester. This savings plan is built up to help cover the cost of your voting delegate to register for Conclave. Chapters should pay their CSP in full prior to registering for Conclave.
When you register for Conclave, your Conclave Savings Plan balance will appear on the payment page. This savings plan cannot be retained from Conclave to Conclave and should be used to lower the cost of registering.
Leadership Funds
Your Leadership Fund is donations from alumni to the TKE Foundation to support your chapter’s educational initiatives. Included in those initiatives are registration costs to TKE conferences, such as Conclave. If you have alumni looking to donate and support their home chapter, utilize Leadership Funds as an outlet for tax-deductible donations to be made.
When you register for Conclave, your Leadership Fund balance will appear on the payment page, and you can choose to utilize any or all of the money in that account, provided there is a $200 minimum balance available and it is approved by your Board of Advisors Chairman.
Chapter Credits
You may have noticed a ‘credits available’ line in your financial summary on the TKE Module. Chapter Credits can be added to your statement for various reasons and once added, they can be applied to outstanding invoices, including Conclave registrations. To utilize chapter credits, select it as a method of payment when you come to the final step in your registration. Our financial team will approve the usage of these credits, and you will have saved yourself and your chapter some money by upholding your financial obligations to the Fraternity.
School Funding
Many colleges and universities set aside money in their student activities budget to support students in campus organizations who attend educational conferences. Don’t wait until the last minute to look into this possibility.
Go to your Fraternity & Sorority Life or Student Government offices today and ask about financial support for Conclave. Oftentimes, all you have to do is fill out an application with the details of the conference, and your school will help offset some or all of the costs for you and your brothers to attend.

Family Support
With Conclave taking place just a month or two after graduation, don’t forget to ask your family and friends to help you attend an event that will make you not only a better Frater, but a better man. You’ll find looking to make your chapter, campus and community a better place is usually a cause worthy of financial backing from your parents, grandparents, and others close to you.
Frequent Fliers
Ask family members, alumni association members or other Teke alumni who travel frequently to donate some of their frequent flier miles to help offset the cost of travel to Conclave.
