Gamma-Delta alumni fraters apply for the status of an Alumni Chapter

Thank you for the work you all have done to get to this point and for your commitment to your fellow Fraters from the Gamma-Delta chapter.  And thank you for your patience with me over the weekend.  

The officers have been listed in the system.  When we communicate with all associations, we sometimes reach out to just the presidents, sometimes to the primary officers (Pres, VP, Sec, Tres), and sometimes to any/all officers listed.  I encourage you to share communications internally amongst yourselves to make sure everyone remains in the loop.  

The chartering fee can be paid online at aa.tke.org.  Select Gamma-Delta from the dropdown list and you can pay online with a card.  If someone will be paying with a check, it should be made out to Tau Kappa Epsilon and mailed to Karen Coleman’s attention at the HQ address listed below in my signature.  A term fee of $200 will give your group status through the next Conclave (August, 2022) at which time it expires and needs to be renewed, or the lifetime fee of $1,000 will persist as long as the group remains active and communicative with HQ.  

We will also register and maintain a domain for an association webpage.  Please let me know whether you have a specific request or desire for the url or not (we prefer to keep them simple) so we can establish that for your group.  It will be a simple page – similar to the automatic pages that all chapters have.  It will list officer contact info, social media links, and your association’s events that you post to tke.org/events.  I know that alums aren’t browsing the TKE.org website looking for Gamma-Delta’s alumni events, but posting all your events there allows prospective members and families all across TKE Nation to see the variety of events happening when they’re on the site.  Posting your events on our main site populates your own site and allows you to list attendees after the fact for tracking and historical purposes.  It gives you an event page that you can link to on your social media pages and we can also assist with broadcast emails and/or social media promotion to support your events.

I look forward to working with you over the next year and beyond.  As soon as your payment is processed, your group will have official standing with the Fraternity.  

Yours in the Bond
