Life Loyal Teke

How Does Life Loyal Teke Impact The Fraternity?

Support Collegiate Members

Over 95% of the operating costs to running the Fraternity are currently paid for by 18-22 year old collegiate members. Membership in the Life Loyal Teke program is one of the best ways to provide membership services.

Invest In Tomorrow

Contributions made to the Life Loyal Teke program allow the Offices of the Grand Chapter to invest in technology, alumni events, and other aspects essential to the Fraternity's growth.

Sustainability

By having a significant baseline of Life Loyal Tekes, the Offices of the Grand Chapter would be able to keep collegiate fees consistent or potentially even lower fees.

Frequently Asked Questions

I Joined Life Loyal Teke Prior to 2015. What Does This Mean For Me?

We re-introduced the Life Loyal Teke program on Founders' Day 2015. Fraters who joined under the original program and who have lifetime status will continue to receive all of the program benefits listed for the Cherry Level ($50) of the program. New Life Loyal Tekes are making an annual contribution of either $18.99 or $50 to support the Fraternity for Life rather than the previous one-time pay version.

We ask all lifetime members to support a new tradition by clicking below and making this same commitment to contribute annually.

Can I mail in a check to become an LLT?

Absolutely! Download our manual LLT form and mail it to Tau Kappa Epsilon ATTN: LLT, 7439 Woodland Dr Suite 100, Indianapolis, IN 46278.

Why These Tekes Are Life Loyal

Chris Hanson

Grand Council

"LLT is an opportunity to remain engaged as an alumnus member of the Fraternity for Life. Despite our best intentions, many of us find ourselves pulled in different directions after graduation. This is a way to demonstrate your support when other options may not be possible."

Tom Kuhn

Compliance Officer

"TKE has provided me with an incredible platform to continue my own development and help other fraters make the most out of their fraternity experience. LLT allows me the opportunity to help ensure future Tekes get the same life changing experience that has been provided to myself."

Shaun Taylor

Collegiate

"Being a Life Loyal Teke to me underlines that we are the Fraternity for Life. The qualities and skills that we learn as undergraduates in Tau Kappa Epsilon transcend our college experience. Being Life Loyal to me is just a small way of showing I am thankful for the opportunities I have been given and I want future fraters to be able to have the same. "

William Pearson

Account Manager

"Becoming a Life Loyal Teke enables us to continue to improve our local communities, which is critical for organizations and individuals to succeed."

Jerry Campos

"Embrace the value of charity. It is an opportunity to contribute to the same system that helped develop us as undergraduates. Always helping build better men for a better world."

Gustavo Grajales

Associate Construction Consultant

"Being a Life Loyal Teke affords me the privilege to pay it forward like so many men before me; had it not been for their generosity I wouldn't have had the opportunity to attended great educational programming."

Tony Clemens

Grand Council

"I chose to join LLT to show my support for the Fraternity. As an undergraduate member, I realized how important it was to have the support of alumni at the chapter and international level. By joining LLT, I am able to directly support the operations of the Fraternity. This, in turn, supports my chapter, as well as the other chapters in TKE Nation. "

Jason B. Blank

Attorney

"...I am reminded that TKE is always with me, and I am always with the Fraternity. I am the Fraternity for Life. I am a Life Loyal Teke."

Jack Concannon

Leadership Academy Graduate

"Being apart of the Life Loyal Teke program is showing my continued devotion to our fraternity. It's a reminder that being a Teke was not only during your college days, but for the rest of your life. It's my way of saying that I am still an active and committed member of the fraternity, even as an alumni."

Todd Farmer

TKE Professional Staff

"To commit to being a Life Loyal Teke, is to say to the world 'You can count on me to support my Fraternity in many ways'."

Kobina Armoo Intsiful

TKE Alumnus

"Legacy is the word that comes to mind when I think about the Life Loyal Teke program. Merriam Webster dictionary describes legacy as,'something transmitted by or received from an ancestor or predecessor or from the past.' I believe in order for the fraternity to boldly take on this ever changing world we must stand on the shoulders of our rich legacy."

Benny Bliss

Entrepreneur

"Many things that I learned as an undergraduate are still used today in business and involvement with charities and public service."
