Tau Kappa Epsilon International Fraternity challenges you to make the most of
your life. Becoming a brother, gaining confidence through experience,
developing as an individual and a leader, and making the most out of
opportunities -- these are the hallmarks of being a Teke.
The strength of Tau Kappa Epsilon International Fraternity is our Brotherhood.
TKE men are committed to the principles of scholarship, community service,
leadership, friendship, and athletics. As
a Teke, you will pursue a good education, volunteer in your community,
participate in social activities with sororities on campus, serve in a
leadership role in your school and chapter, challenge other fraternities to
athletic contests--and more.
"The Noble Eight-Fold Path of Tekedom," as written by fraternity
founders Clarence A. Mayer and James C. McNutt, outlines the following
principles:
A Teke will always be recognized as:
1. A man of sterling character.
2. A man whose honesty is never questioned.
3. A man who never violates the integrity of his inner self.
4. A man who is first, last, and always a true citizen.
5. A man who is always glad to support all TKE activities.
6. A man who will always extend a helping hand to a fellow Teke.
7. A man who is always a gentleman, kindly and considerate of others.
8. A man who never forgets that Tau Kappa Epsilon is a Fraternity for Life.

Greek Week 2008, Strong Showing With Limited Players
Monday, 14 April 2008
Many Sigma Lambda Tekes had mixed feelings going into this
Springs Greek Week with only 15 members able to play. Not to mention we had to
go without many of our best athletes. However, the week began with a blowout
football game win against the Kappa Sigmas and gave all the members playing a
fiery boost. “It was intense getting the 26-0 victory,” said Scotty "Disco" Bowen.
“The fire in the huddle was legendary”. The chapter went on to lose to the
Pikes then beat the Kappa Sigmas again in one of the best Greek Week games
ever, which allowed them to face the Pikes in the championship. The Pikes had a
talented team that was just too much to conquer. The remaining
sports results are as follows:
Football - 2 wins / 1 loss (2nd)
Soccer - 1 win / 2 losses (3rd)
Volleyball - 1 win / -2 losses (4th)
Basketball - 1 win / 2 close losses (3rd)
Softball - 2 losses (4th)
OVERALL - 3rd Place
Although the talent show didn’t technically have any winners or losers,
the Tekes were obviously the most enjoyed showing. Fraters Nic Watrous, Sam
Crawford, Matt Thompson, and Scott Bowen played “Killing in the Name Of” by
Rage against the Machine and “Fight for your Right” by the Beastie Boys. They
also played a song they came up with themselves to really pump up the talent
show atmosphere.

The Tulsa area Teke alumni will begin having a re-occuring event known
as Third Thursdays. The event will be held at Buffalo Wild Wings in
Broken Arrow just off HWY 51. It will be on the third Thursday of every
month at 6:30pm. Any Teke is welcome to attend, although it was
specifically designed with an emphasis to get alumni a designated place
and time hang out. See you guys there!
