About Tau Kappa Epsilon
Tau Kappa Epsilon International Fraternity was founded January 10, 1899, with a mission "to aid college men in mental, moral, and social development." Founded as the Knights of Classic Lore, this fraternity seeks men who embody leadership, scholarship, teamwork, service, brotherhood and character. Men are chosen for initiation into Tau Kappa Epsilon based on their personal worth and the quality of their character, and are asked to commit themselves to a set of common values that will enable them to commit themselves to the betterment of the fraternity, their community, and society in general. Tau Kappa Epsilon is a lifelong fraternity, embodying an ongoing and growing relationship that extends beyond a man’s undergraduate career and can become, to those who choose it, a lifelong obsession. Since its founding, TKE has grown to include groups at over 250 college campus in both the United States and Canada, making it the world’s largest male, international, collegiate fraternity.
