Yesterday, 56 Tekes, family and friends came together at Yankee Stadium for one of baseball’s greatest rivalries, Yankees vs. Red Sox!

Fraters from across the area enjoyed an incredible night of Brotherhood, baseball and some custom TKE Yankees hats to top it all off.

A great night of connecting generations of Tekes and celebrating Brotherhood in the Bronx!

Elevate The Legacy.

VGP Charles W. Whittington Jr: Full Inaugural Address

“We inherited a great Fraternity. Now we must make it greater.”

In his Inaugural Address at Conclave 2026 in New Orleans, Venerable Grand Prytanis Charles W. Whittington Jr. challenges Fraters across TKE Nation to remember that legacy is not simply what we inherit. It is what we strengthen, grow and pass forward.

“The next generation will not ask whether we loved the Legacy. They will ask whether we lifted it.“

When Brotherhood hits the open water

We can’t believe it’s already been almost two weeks since Conclave 2026 came to a close in New Orleans.

We’re looking back at some of our favorite moments from the TKE❤️STJUDE event aboard the Riverboat CITY of NEW ORLEANS, where Fraters, family and friends came together for an unforgettable evening celebrating Brotherhood and our old/new commitment to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

Conclave may be over, but the memories will last a lifetime.
