BETA ETA SETS $1 MILLION GOAL FOR

B
eta Eta of Tau Kappa Epsilon has impacted the lives of more than 1,100
young men who have been initiated at Missouri University of Science
and Technology. It gave us a support system that provided a lifetime of
friendships, contacts, social opportunities, and simply fond memories. We
all benefitted from being Beta Eta Tekes. Many of us can say it helped form
who we are today.
When the university set plans for Bertelsmeyer Hall, a new chemical and
biochemical engineering building on campus, the TKE alumni leadership
knew it was time to take action to secure our own future at Missouri S&T.
When the opportunity arose for us to sell our property at 1107 State Street
and obtain land on Fraternity Row, we knew it was the right decision for
Beta Eta.
We want to provide our undergraduate members with the best options
on campus. With the ever increasing competition on campus, we need to
position Beta Eta to attract the best men at the university. When we set out
to start the Pride in Our Past, Securing Our Future campaign, we came up
with three main goals to focus on:
1. Build a Chapter House that will ensure our members safety,
complies with building codes, and utilizes energy-efficient
systems.
2. Provide members with access to the technology needed to meet
the demands of the student today and tomorrow.
3. Offer our members amenities that other residence halls and off-
campus housing are providing to appeal to the best and brightest
men coming to the university.
Overall, we want to provide a high-quality, durable facility that will provide
a safe living and state-of-the-art learning environment for generations. The
alumni who came before us provided the tradition that each of us helped
build upon. This is the chance in our lives to repay what TKE provided us.
Those of us who enjoyed the brotherhood, camaraderie, and support of our
fraternity will forever owe a debt of gratitude for that unique experience.
Now is the time to join the 139 Fraters who have already pledged $609,188
to the campaign, and provide the same wonderful experience to a new
generation of Beta Eta Tekes. We need your help to reach our $1 million
fundraising goal.
In the coming weeks, you will receive additional information detailing the
project and the ways in which you may help. We hope you will join our
growing list of loyal supporters who wish to ensure the lasting impact of
the TKE experience on the lives of young men attending Missouri S&T.
Yours in the Bond,
