TKE offers young men
the opportunity to develop as leaders--and prepares them to use those skills
during their lifetime.
Leadership
opportunities abound during your college years. TKE enables and encourages your
leadership in campus and chapter activities, in addition to those in the
community. These activities are often service, social, or sports oriented. In
1991 alone, T KE men contributed more than 25,000 hours and raised more than
$75,000 for Special Olympics, the fraternity's national philanthropy.
Studies show
that 76 percent of our nation's senators, 85 percent of key executives, and 71
percent of the men listed in "Who's Who in America" are fraternity
men
.
TKE membership requires attention to solid academic performance,
good scholarship, and achievement. Personal success is acknowledged through
awards, grants, and educational programs.
Approaching
academics with discipline is a principle upheld by TKE men. A strong academic
record not only prepares you for success after you get your degree, it
represents your strength of mind and character to the world.
All college
fraternities stress the importance of academic achievement. A successful
college experience is the basis of the Greek system.
TKE, an international fraternity, is the fastest growing
fraternity on the continent. It has been the first fraternity chartered on more
colleges than any other fraternity.
TKE is a
popular fraternity. In general, the fraternity system is continuing a pattern
of steady growth that began after World War II. Since 1941, the total number of
chapters on college campuses has increased every year without exception.
Today, there
are more than 5,000 chapters of national-international fraternities at more
than 700 institutions of higher learning.
Prepared to enter the world, TKE men embody the principles
promoted by the fraternity and are poised for success. They belong to
TKE..."The Fraternity for Life."
TKE develops
well-rounded men. They are men committed to brotherhood, community service,
scholarship, and leadership. They are prepared to exemplify these
charactersistics for the rest of their lives.
According to
a nationwide study of fraternity and sorority members, by belonging to a
fraternity your chances or graduating are greater by up to 10 percent.
Joining TKE requires time, effort, loyalty, and only a little
money. And thousands of men have accepted the choice to belong, the challenge
to become.
TKE men know
that their commitment to the fraternity requires effort and discipline, as well
as the funds to support the services the fraternity provides to its members and
the community.
A U.S. Office
of education report shows that less than 1.5 percent of the average college
man's expenses goes for fraternity dues. Room and board charged by fraternity
chapter houses is usually comperable and often lower, than college or
university housin g.
