  • On this last day of Pride Month, we want to thank our members of minority communities who help make our fraternity diverse and unified. In our organization, we do not tolerate discrimination of any kind. Our Founders believed in an entity that would value all equally, leave a mark on the world, and instill dedication to its members for life. As Fraters in the Bond, we have committed to upholding this promise. Hundreds of thousands of Fraters across TKE Nation work every day to ensure that this commitment to each other will not falter. To help keep our commitment and promote an inclusive and diverse TKE, please consider applying for the Strategic Committee on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. To learn more about this committee and the other ways we plan to stay accountable, visit TKE.org/Equality. #LoveIsLove #LoveWins #WeAreTKE

  • #tkeregram by @pjmcelroy410: "[1 year ago in Memphis, TN] On October 3, 2018 I had recently completed the 100 mile walk from Philadelphia, PA to Harrisburg, PA. I did a facebook video stating I still had about $8,500 to go to hit my $25,000 goal for 2018. But if I did hit $25K, I would find my way to Memphis, TN and visit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital to present an honorary check in that amount as tribute to all the donors. You all made that promise come true. You donated and I matched, and we hit $25K for 2018 on 12/31/18. On 6/27/19 I was at the St. Jude campus to present the honorary check I promised. After that, we raised another $12,000+ in 2019 and we're currently 10% of the way to our $30,000 goal for 2020. This is the path to $100,000 in 7 years and EVERY GIFT MATTERS #ForTheKids Just Keep Walking!

  • Congratulations to the 2019-2020 recipient of the Ronald Reagan Leadership Award, Frater John Pruden! “Before I joined TKE, I had no sense of guidance. I was an incredibly anxious, ambitious and scared freshman. I knew I wanted to have a successful career, but even wanting to go to college was a big change in my personal mindset, so I had no clue where to go after orientation was over. After becoming a brother, I felt a sense of purpose and comradery.”

  • In recognition of June as Pride month, TKE asked four Fraters from different places in their TKE journey to share their story. TKE is proud to have never had an exclusionary clause since our founding in 1899. Now in 2020, we are authoring the next chapter of TKE history by opening the dialogue. We are joined by Mark Romig, Erich Ploog, Keyeon Pitts and TJ Morgan for a panel discussion on how Fraternity is an agent for connection and conversation, while they share their own TKE journeys, and we reaffirm our values to consider men only for their personal worth and character. Listen or subscribe at TKE.org/Podcast or wherever you get your podcasts. This episode is part one of The Esteem Discussions Series. So stay tuned for more in the coming months as we explore the nature of our Fraternal connections and learn how our Bond creates a space for dialogue unlike any other.

  • #TKETuesday - Share your Impact at Impact@TKE.org . . . “When I first walked into the TKE house at George Washington University as a potential pledge, the brothers asked questions about what my high school experience had been like. As a closeted gay man, I was proud to share I was a Texas high school football captain, prom king and class president. I thought what I had accomplished was the type of ‘straight’ man they were looking for. I thought these labels were what my future brothers cared about, but I could not have been more wrong. What I learned was they were cultivating a diverse group of leaders to join the brotherhood. As an undergraduate, it was my brothers who gave me the confidence to tell my truth. It was them who supported me when I successfully ran for Epiprytanis. It was my pledge brothers that took me into my first gay bar on my 21st birthday when I said I had never been. My TKE Brothers were the first group of men to encourage me to take pride in myself--my whole self. Their leadership and brotherhood has shaped my entire life path. I am eternally grateful for TKE!” - Scott Chidgey (Alpha-Pi, George Washington University) [ Insta: @diaryofscott ]
