Thanks to the efforts of Tau Kappa Epsilon’s International headquarters staff and volunteers, continued member educations never stops. Our chapter had the opportunity to road trip up to West Virginia and join 150 Tekes from around the east coast for 4 days of fun and learning. When we weren’t canoeing or swimming, we were eating some of the best food, made by the man, the legend, the Buckwheat. Pictures are to follow…

I must say that I had one of the most exciting and badass weekends of my life. We at the Pi Delta chapter of Tau Kappa Epsilon HOSTED 25 Tekes from Florida International University in Miami (Sigma Alpha Chapter). You read that right, they drove 13 hours to see Fraternity brothers that they had never met before in Birmingham. It never ceases to amaze me that two groups of VERY DIFFERENT men can meet up and find out how similar they really are, we truly found brotherhood among one another. It was as if we had known them their whole lives and that they had known us. Something just clicked. Long story short, we hung out and partied all weekend. It was tons of fun. Even as a senior Teke, this amazing Fraternity for LIFE still amazes me.

Here are a few pictures, the rest of which can be found here (new photo album added called “TKE Nation” for photos of chapters that visit us or that we visit.)
One of the best parts of being a Teke is that there are tons and tons of other teke chapters scattered all throughout the United States AND Canada! A seldom mentioned perk of being in TKE is that you can go an visit any other chapter in any other state at any time! So, earlier last week a few of us made a simple phone call, hopped in the car, and road up to Tennesee to see our Fraternity brother at Middle Tennessee State University (Sigma Omicron). We didn’t know what to expect as we arrived, but we found that the guys took us in like we were from their chapter! It was an amazing trip! Thanks again guys! Pictures:
They had this huge bell that we rang constantly, it was really cool.
