About Our Chapter
We are the Zeta-Lambda Chapter of Tau Kappa Epsilon at Bowling Green State University. We were re-chartered in 2009, and have already achieved great things. We have become one of the largest chapters on campus; our chapter size is currently at 61, making us the third largest chapter on campus. Out of 257 TKE chapters nationwide, we have been ranked in the top ten chapters for the past three years.
Our Brothers Give Back
While we have made an impact internationally, we also do many things locally. We are the only IFC Fraternity on BGSU's campus to receive the Greek Chapter of Excellence Award, which is the highest honor awarded in BGSU's Greek community. We have dedicated plenty of time working with the community, and we have donated thousands of dollars to numerous philanthropic organizations, including St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. During the Fall semester of 2015 alone, we raised and donated $6,042 to philanthropic causes, and dedicated 1,062 hours to community service. In the Fall semester, our chapter GPA was 3.23, which is 0.13 above the All-University Male Average GPA, and 0.3 above the IFC average GPA. Our chapter excels in civic engagement, leadership, brotherhood, academics, and positive relations, and the new chapter house can only help our chapter excel further. If you would like to know more about our chapter's performance, please reference the Bowling Green State University Chapter Report for Fall 2015.
Why We Need Your Help
As stated above, the chapter house will only help our chapter excel. This house will provide a common place for our brothers to meet for our chapter meetings, and to hang out, which will help create an even stronger brotherhood among our members. The house will also help us increase our number of new members during recruitment. The chapter house will also provide our brothers with a place to live for the many years to come. Every donation, no matter the amount, helps our chapter in many ways, and we hope you'll consider donating to this cause.
