OUTCOMES and IMPACT
“ There's a lot about TKE right now that excites me. The growth in our Foundation means we can do more for both our collegiates and our alumni Fraters. Young men on college campuses are needing more of what fraternities offer. TKE, and the culture we have built, is well placed to deliver on that in a meaningful way."
Jacob Spradlin
TKE Foundation Ambassador
Sam Houston State University
“When speaking with our CEO at the Chicago RLC, I shared with him how truly proud I am of the current state of TKE and the trajectory we are on. As I have gotten more involved, I am seeing just what I have wanted to see. And I am proud to know that our staff and volunteers are doing the quality work that needs to be done.”
Owen Fayer
TKE Business Council
Western Michigan University
“TKE enhanced my leadership skills and broadened my college experience. That contributed to the success God has blessed me with and it is important to me to repay TKE for the difference it made in my life. The Foundation's support is what enables our wise leaders to innovate and help TKE continue growing and thriving.”

From the Desk of Donald E. Aldrich, CEO
It is a great time to be a Teke! Our fraternity is growing for a third straight year, spurred by total membership increasing by over 6% in the last fiscal year. The retention rate of our collegiate members is at an all-time high and the 2025 Regional Leadership Conferences tout the strongest attendance since 2014 with over 1,500 registrants. Additionally, the TKE Foundation shared its largest commitment in history with a $5 million bequest from Foundation Chairman David Bohline!
The TKE of today aligns with our heritage, an organization of growth, innovation, and expanding our impact on campuses and communities. Although we live in the greatest technological age in history, we understand the unique value in TKE is human interaction – which forms lifelong relationships, develops life skills, and drives our members to their potential.
Donors to the TKE Foundation fund award-winning leadership training to our collegiate and alumni members. They grant us the chance to sharpen the skills of our amazing volunteer team and deploy dynamic Professional Staffers to inspire our members to greatness. In short, our contributors advance the mission of TKE via their generosity.
An expanding TKE requires a new level of resources and a powerful Foundation to meet the expectations and emerging needs of TKE Nation. Your investment matters and is critical to attack excellence. Thank you for your dedication to Tau Kappa Epsilon and living Fraternity for Life!
I love the Fraternity!
Yours in the Bond,
Donnie
