Tau Kappa Epsilon, commonly known as TKE or Teke, is a social collegiate fraternity with chapters throughout the United States and Canada, making it an international organization providing men with countless opportunities for personal growth and development. Above all else, this fraternity stands for Men. We stand for men whose manhood has withstood the test of trying conditions. We deem sterling character and staunch uprightness to be necessary qualifications to membership in this fraternity.
Our mission is to aid men in their mental, moral, and social development for life. Tau Kappa Epsilon creates lifelong relationships that enhance educational, interpersonal, community, and professional success. TKE contributes to the advancement of society through the personal growth of our members and service to others.
The Mu Lambda Chapter of TKE established at Michigan Tech prides itself on over 50 years of involvement with the university and the greater Houghton community.
