Tau Kappa Epsilon Fraternity was founded on January 10, 1899 at Illinois Wesleyan College. Our founders were focused on building a fraternity in which the criteria for membership had nothing to do with a person’s wealth, his rank on the social ladder, or any honors bestowed upon him. Over 100 years, 300 chapters, and 300,000 members later, it is safe to say that they have succeeded. Tau Kappa Epsilon is now the world’s largest and most successful Fraternity, boasting members such as Ronald Reagan, Charles Walgreen, Conrad Hilton, and Terry Bradshaw.
