Do you have what it takes to be a Teke?
Why Join a Fraternity?
Only 3% of the American population since 1776 has been Greek. However, that 3% is the most powerful, influential, and successful group of individuals. Approximately 85% of Fortune 500 Exectives are Greek, 48% of the 106th U.S. Congress, and most U.S. Presidents in recent history have been Fraternity men. With all the fraternities available on college and university campuses today, finding the one that fits your personality and goals is essential. Fraternities produce leaders, scholars, graduates, gentlemen, and men of commitment.
Why Choose TKE?
Founded locally in 1942, Tau Kappa Epsilon's Alpha Chi chapter is one of the oldest fraternity chapters here at U of L. TKE has a long history of excellence both locally and nationally. TKE is the world's largest social fraternity with over 270 active chapters and over 230,000 initiated brothers. We pride ourselves on our strong brotherhood and above all else we believe that the true elements of brotherhood are Love, Charity, and Esteem. These are the principles by which every Teke strives to live his life.
