Why rush TKE?

There are several reasons; read below and see what it is to be a TKE.

Rush can be one of the most important times in a college student's life. It is a time when you will meet an amazing amount of people and learn the ways of Greek life. You will be given pamphlets and brochures, learn a little something about each fraternity, who they are, why they are different, and also about their lifestyles, where they life, what they do, and so on. This can turn out to be an overload of information, especially when the choice may come down to two fraternities, or whether to even join one at all. Most people do not realize the effect Greek life will have on them through their college years let alone throughout their lifetime. Ask any TKE active or alum what their life would be like without TKE, and you'll be met with grim faces. TKE is much more than just a fraternity. It is the choice to belong, and the challenge to become.

TKE is friendship. It is a deep friendship and mutual understanding among a group of men who have similar ideals, hopes, and purposes. Such a bond of friendship and understanding furnishes the indispensable incentive which helps the college man develop into a poised and self-confident adult -- equipped with a keener mind, a greater appreciation, and broader sympathies, and fortified by a group of true and understanding friends which will abide throughout life.
TKE is experience and individualism. Membership in TKE is an invaluable experience. It opens the door to individual expression of fresh thoughts, ideas, and action. TKE exposes you to diversity and stresses academic achievement, helping you develop necessary skills for the future.
TKE is mutual understanding. In TKE, you will join with others who have made the same commitment to uphold fraternity principles. In your TKE brothers, you will find genuine caring, concern, and support for personal endeavors and for mankind.
TKE is opportunity. TKE helps you achieve success by promoting scholarship, leadership, and community service. Statistics show fraternity members are more likely to graduate, and comprise some of our most prominent government, civic, business, and industry leaders.
TKE is much more. The membership of TKE is very diverse. We consider men "Not for wealth, rank, or honor; but for personal worth and character" If this membership is offered to you, accepting the challenges that TKE can provide can help you achieve everything you are capable of. Many benefits of joining TKE can't be explained -- they can only be experienced. Certainly, membership in TKE promises a better chance for academic and future success. And we promise opportunities and contacts that can only be yours when you become a Teke.
