Every Summer, the TKE Educational Foundation sponsors the Charles Walgreen Leadership Academy. This academy is a four day event held in Colorado Springs, CO and fraters from across the country can apply. If chosen, the frater’s expenses are fully paid and he gets to experience a once in a lifetime event. Our chapter has been fortunate to have fraters attend this leadership academy for the past two years. This year was no different as Brent Taylor, Pi Delta 468, represented our chapter at the academy August 6-10, 2010. As Brent summed up his experience, “I left the Leadership Academy with the tools I need to influence people to work together toward a common goal, knowledge I will use throughout my life.” Congrats to Brent for representing Pi Delta.

For the past couple of months, TKE has been volunteering at the Birmingham Zoo. We have performed various tasks around the zoo, such as creating new exhibits, cleaning up around exhibits, and adding to current exhibits. So far we have worked on two Saturdays during the summer, including Saturday, August 7. The people in the Birmingham Zoo have been extremely accepting of us and it has been really fun giving back to the community!
