Tau Kappa Epsilon - Iowa State University

3 t hroughout the last six months, the men of epsilon chapter have seen great success in many aspects of the Greek experience. From one of the busier fall semesters we have experienced recently, we eagerly rushed into the spring semester with yet larger goals. i am excited to share with you some of our talented members' achievements so far this academic year. fRATERS CommiTTEd To PhilAnThRoPy Last year, epsilon chapter largely contributed to the most successful Up 'til Dawn event to date. Philanthropy chairmen Gavin hellmich E-2230 '17 and derek Gushiken E-2251 '19 also guided our chapter philanthropy, Judapalooza, to a huge increase in dollars raised. Up 'til Dawn—a campus-wide event led by a committee comprised primarily of tekes—raised a record-setting $80,000, while Judapalooza garnered $2,713 for the kids of st. Jude, more than doubling its total of $1,345 last year. Of the $80,000 raised during Up 'til Dawn, $24,000 came from tekes alone—this is a $9,000 increase from the $15,000 raised by teke last year! nETWoRKinG AT REGionAl lEAdERShiP ConfEREnCE On February 17, nearly 20 men made the long drive to indianapolis to attend one of tKe's annual Regional Leadership conferences. We networked with other chapters from the Midwest and high-ranking officials from TKE international. For the newest members of our chapter, this was a wonderful opportunity to expand their leadership potential while making meaningful connections with other chapters in our region. GREEK WEEK on ThE hoRizon We had a great performance during Greek Week, which took place from march 26 to April 2. We were fortunate to have on our team the wonderful women of Delta Delta Delta, as well as the men of Phi Kappa theta and theta chi. We performed in Lip sync, and our Greek Week co-chairmen introduced a successful intra- chapter competition to raise money for the special Olympics of iowa. ThAnK yoU, AlUmni As you can see, spring is in full swing at epsilon! the men are hard at work, and i have full confidence we will see success in all we do this semester. i want to take this opportunity to thank all the alumni reading this letter. the prosperity we see now exists only because of the sacrifice and dedication to the chapter you all have shown. it is because of you the chapter stands tall today, and it is our top priority to ensure we never grow complacent and always strive for greater accomplishments.
