Transcript | In 1899, five men founded Tau Kappa Epsilon Fraternity with avowed purpose "to aid men, in mental, moral, and social development." The purpose is still today kept by the more than three hundred chapters worldwide. Locally founded in 1956, the Epsilon Omicron Chapter of Tau Kappa Epsilon has prospered at UH. Today, TKE is the largest Greek organization at UH with nearly one hundred men selected from a diverse background. Nationally, UH Tekes are recipients of recruiting awards, alumni awards, and recognized as a TKE Superior Chapter. Tekes are involved in organizations across campus: Students' Association, Greek Cabinet, IFC Executive Board, Student Foundation, HBSA, MASO, Golden Key Honor Society, Order of Omega and many others. Tau Kappa Epsilon members are not only present at many campus functions but also sponsor popular events as well: TKE Spring Showdown Volleyball tournament, Tiki Island and End of the World parties, Founders Day, bus trips, Regional Leadership Conference and the Red Carnation Ball. TKEs are members of many of UH athletic teams including: football, track and field, and soccer. Off the field, Teke's excel scholasticallyaswell. When it comes to academics, Teke's routinely help each other with study halls and test files. While Honors Program members only make up 25% of Teke's membership, TKE has mor Honor Program members, and National Merit Scholars, than the other 11 fraternities combined.
