Tau Kappa Epsilon (often shortened to TKE, pronounced like "Teak") is a fraternity. Tau Kappa Epsilon is the largest college social fraternity by number of chapters worldwide, with chapters in the US and Canada. The Davis chapter of TKE was founded in 1989 and reaches around 60 active members every year. TKE is extremely active at UC Davis, participating in several philanthropies, performing community service, as well as hosting their annual philanthropy, TKE Sweetheart, to help raise money for Alzheimer's Association.

TKE is comprised of members who participate not only in the fraternity, but are involved in things such as ASUCD, IFC, Clinica Tepati, BloodSource, and Rugby. Its members pursue careers in all fields of study, including medicane, law, and business, with some recent members having just been accepted to Johns Hopkins Medical, Stanford Business school, and UCLA Law. They are known in Davis for their parties (usually with an ice block).

i've never heard anything about their parties or philanthropy, but i do see their posters featuring Ronnie Reagan everywhere. also, was the above photo taken at the bottom of the ocean? can we do any better than that? - ArlenAbraham

Their iceblocking parties were a frequent event when I was a freshman and had to walk to parties. Imagine 100 strangers putting their mouths on the same indentation on a block of ice and the TKEs pouring Kamikazes down the channel. Console your fears of saliva-borne diseases with the ideas that alcohol kills everything and that hopefully the ice has melted sufficiently since the last person put their mouth there that you've got fresh ice. Also don't expect to feel your mouth again for a while. - DanielMedinaCleghorn
