Pi Delta just returned from the 56th Biennial Conclave of Tau Kappa Epsilon, held in San Antonio, TX on August 4-7. In a repeat performance, the UAB Tekes won five (5) International Leadership Excellence Awards for 2011. These included Academic Excellence, Extracurricular Activities, Philanthropy, Alumni Relations and Chapter Recruitment – Chapter Size. Only approximately 15-20 chapters in the TKE Nation are recognized in each of these categories. Although the chapter did not bring home the coveted “Top TEKE” chapter award, we now have two (2) solid years of results that will help us once again go to the next level and work towards bringing home the top award. Also announced was the site of the 57th Biennial Conclave, which will be held in August of 2013 in Washington, D. C. Congratulations fraters on another job well done!!
