Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity is the newest addition to the Greek community at Lake Erie College.
Tau Kappa Epsilon focuses on six main personality points:
Scholarship
Tau Kappa Epsilon expects serious attention to academic performance. A strong academic record not only prepares members for success after graduation, but it also helps them strengthen their mind to the world. TKE will help its members excel in their academic life and assist in their pursuits afterward.
Character
TKE teaches the basic principles of effective living such as integrity, honesty and patience, which are core values in Tau Kappa Epsilon. Generations of men have become successful in life through their experiences in Tau Kappa Epsilon.
Leadership
TKE offers your men the opportunity to develop as leaders and prepares them to use those leadership skills during their lifetime. Tekes are encouraged to take an active leadership role in community, campus, and chapter activities.
Teamwork
Tau Kappa Epsilon believes that the backbone of a successful team is based on building relationships, and developing strong interpersonal ties. TKE helps our members reach their full potential, and achieve a level of excellence in every activity in which they engage.
Service
TKE is committed to instilling a sense of responsibility and contribution in all of our members. The Fraternity encourages members to provide service to their campus and community through philanthropic activities.
Brotherhood
In Tau Kappa Epsilon hundreds of thousands of men have established solid friendships that last a lifetime. Tekes around the world act as a network of friends, which can be very beneficial both personally and professionally to our members.
From these six points we have found ourselves as a group filled with quality men that are focused not only on themselves, but the college community as a whole. The men at Lake Erie are very active on campus. In such, almost all of our members compete for the College on one of its sports teams. With this, we have found ways to work around practice schedules and games so that every member can participate in the fraternal activities and gain more out of their college experience.
TKE has become a group that has broken free of academic, athletic, and personal stereotypes. It is a group focused on bringing together men wanting to gain brotherhood beyond the bond of a sport team or social crowd. Tau Kappa Epsilon is Breaking the constriction of stereotypes to form the bond of brotherhood.
