Our Needs and Opportunities
W
hile the Epsilon experience is certainly more
than the physical structure of the chapter house,
our home undoubtedly plays a significant role in
the development of our brothers and as a proud symbol of our
shared values and goals.
Today's students value residential facilities as the second
most important factor in the college decision-making
process behind the availability of a student's intended major.
This is understandable considering students spend 70% of
their time within their living environment.
Due to an increased demand in student housing, Iowa State
now leases eight apartments to offer more apartment-style
living. All apartments have private bedrooms, are fully furnished,
and include utilities. We know these are attractive places for
upperclassmen looking for even more independence and
privacy. These amenities and facilities
are very attractive, and are a threat to
keeping our members engaged with
the fraternity. Additionally, Iowa State
is constructing a new residence hall to
accommodate 784 students opening in
spring 2017.

major projects already. For TKE to remain a premier fraternity
at Iowa State, we must invest in renovating and expanding the
chapter house and building our scholarship endowment to
attract the quality of men we pride ourselves on.
We know the classroom experience is
critical, but the development of social
skills might be even more important
to success in today's business world.
We know the fraternity provides social
interaction that sets our members
apart from the average college
graduate. Our challenge is to provide
a living environment that offers both
community and privacy.
