BETA ETA WELCOMES 29 NEW MEMBERS This fall, we accepted 29 new members to the brotherhood. Each brings his own set of strengths that will fortify our leadership on campus. We also initiated 32 men this year, which is our largest initiated class since 1997. Frater Michael Taylor '13, BH1094 was recognized for his hard work by becoming the first Beta Eta Teke to win a Top TKE Recruiter Award. ALUMNI AND UNDERGRADUATE MEMBERS AWARDED FOR EXCELLENCE Along with Michael, several other Fraters were recognized for their accomplishments at Beta Eta.

THANK YOU, ALUMNI With the accomplishments we achieved this past school year supplemented by the completion of our new home at 3 Fraternity Drive, Beta Eta is looking to capitalize on the momentum created last year. However, none of this would be possible without the support of our alumni, who have shown us time and again that the TKE bonds are for life. I hope to see you all down in Rolla as we celebrate the proud history and the promising future of TKE. Yours in the Bond, Michael "McGruff" Taylor '14, BH1094 Prytanis mjt5hd@mst.edu | (314) 443-7850 Achieving High Distinction Beta Eta Awarded for Excellence Loya VanOrder crowned TKE International Sweetheart.
