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. Delta Tau Delta, Sigma Chi, Phi Delta Theta, Phi Kappa Theta, and FarmHouse are in the midst of, or have completed, Ta u K a p p a E p s i l o n • E p s i l o n C h a p t e r • I o w a S t a t e U n i v e r s i t y 4 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. Iowa State Residence Hall to open next Spring Iowa State Maricopa Apartment Floor Plan
