UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA-LAS VEGAS, Pi-Lambda Las Vegas Tekes participated in the homecoming parade November 4 at the Town Square Mall and placed second overall in votes on campus. Every year, students build a float related to the homecoming theme and showcase their floats at the parade. TKE’s float depicted the Lied Library. The goal of the chapter is to strive for greatness and succeed in all aspects of fraternity life and aspire to be the most promising and contributing chapter nationwide. Above all, they are committed to Love, Charity and Esteem.

UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-MILWAUKEE, Zeta-Zeta Some gaze with a perplexed look, but most are undeniably amused by the scene in front of the Zeta-Zeta house every year in November as giant turkeys and pilgrims run up and down the sidewalk raising food and money for Hunger Task Force. As one Frater, Josh Garcia, said, “People often have a negative perspective of fraternities, but by giving back our time and effort toward a great cause in this community, we hope to change that.” Prytanis Alex Sperry is thankful the community is so willing to help with this great cause and is very impressed with the turnout each time. The chapter has collected more than 2,000 pounds of food in previous years and nearly matched that this year. Through their hard work and dedication, as well as the generous donations of the members of the community, these Tekes show the Milwaukee area the virtue of charity and that exceptional men don’t have to be the exception. As another Frater, Meldon Starkey, put it, “While shaking our tail feathers at oncoming traffic is quite enjoyable and attracts the attention we need, the important aspect of this event is the time these brothers of mine invest in it during the course of the week, regardless of self-interest or how cold it is. I’m truly proud to be part of TKE.” Zeta-Zeta managed to log an amazing 400+ hours of community service during the Thanksgiving food drive, known as Gobble for Groceries, held the week of November 16. A great big thank-you to the Tekes for making the commitment to fight hunger.
