An Alumni Association is a group working together to foster the TKE spirit among alumni of many generations. An association is chartered either as a chapter-based or area-based Alumni Association. Alumni Associations plan social and philanthropic events just like a chapter, and many Alumni Associations award scholarships to collegiate members.

Regardless of whether it's chapter-based or area-based, an Alumni Association receives a charter that must be renewed every biennium. A chartered Alumni Association is part of the Grand Chapter and gets one vote at Grand Chapter meetings.

A Tau Kappa Epsilon Alumni Association has a variety of purposes and may be different based on the individual associations’ preference. The main focus areas for an alumni association are generally among the following:

• Mentor A Local Chapter or Local Chapters of TKE


• Create Scholarship Opportunities for Members of TKE


• Perform Community Service


• Involvement in Philanthropic Causes like Raising Money for The Ronald and Nancy Reagan Alzheimer’s Research Institute


• Continuing Education and Personal Development


• Communicate with Members of TKE in a Specific Area
