Tau Kappa Epsilon Works With Habitat for Humanity to make a Change in the Community.

Saturday January 31, the brothers of Tau Kappa Epsilon seized a quick opportunity to work with Habitat for Humanity of Birmingham. The opportunity kind of came out of no where so we acted quick and rounded up 20 people to work on the project. We ended up going out to Leeds and working on a home there. I found it quite amazing how fast a project can be completed when everyone is motivated and working towards the same goal. Some people are partying every week, we’ll do that too, but we’re gonna focus more than ever on service to our community in the upcoming months. As usual, here are some photos.

Oh yeah, and don’t forget to visit iloveuab.com, it’s quite entertaining!

Play Hard, Work Harder. TKE at Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service

About 18 of us got up bright and early this MLK day around Noon. We awoke this early in order to go volunteer with the Leadership and Service council and their MLK Day of Service event. About 85 people in total came out and the work of  picking up trash and painting over graffiti was finished extremely fast. The event was a great success, and TKE enjoyed being a prt of it. Thanks go out to LSC, Weed and Seed, and Hands on Birmingham.

Here is the Birmingham News article.

Just like the guys from Tau Kappa Epsilon, playing hard and working hard is also part of the life of a professional poker player!

Tau Kappa Epsilon Alabama Province Education Conference

On October 25, the brothers of the Pi Delta chapter of Tau Kappa Epsilon participated in the Alabama Province Educational Conference. The conference was held at the University of South Alabama. It was run by fraters Tripp Warren, Matthew Barclift, and Adam Ferris. Also, a rush presentation was given by Domonick Stella and Andrew Stone It was a great time and we all took a lot from it. It was great hanging out with the guys from the Spring Hill, South Alabama, Troy, and University of West Florida chapters. We concluded the weekend with a party at the Manhattan Club hosted by the Nu Mu chapter. The conference was a great success and we look forward to next year.
