Dear Tau Kappa Epsilon alumni,
I am pleased and excited that the Beta Eta Chapter has decided to construct a new, modern chapter
house. The fraternity's legacy is the many Beta Eta alumni of whom we are so proud, with a family of
more than a thousand members since its founding on this campus on March 9, 1947. Whether known as
the University of Missouri School of Mines and Metallurgy, the University of Missouri-Rolla, or now
Missouri University of Science and Technology, our campus and TKE have provided those members
with an unparalleled life experience. In addition, the alumni base has contributed generously through
both financial and leadership commitments, including prominent leadership roles in the Miner Alumni
Association and the Missouri S&T Board of Trustees.
Today, Missouri S&T's Greek system is flourishing and constitutes about 22% of the student body.
Greek members play a crucial role within the University and Rolla communities through their academic
achievement and demonstration of both leadership and philanthropy. The impact the fraternity expe-
rience has on young men's lives cannot be overstated. The decision to provide a premium facility will
only enhance the overall collegiate experience for the members of Tau Kappa Epsilon.
I strongly support our fraternities and sororities and look forward to the success of this project. I hope
TKE alumni will support this campaign as well, in turn securing the strength of the bond and the future
of Beta Eta Chapter for the next 100 years.
Warmest regards,
