About Tau Kappa Epsilon Fraternity
Founded on January 10, 1899, Tau Kappa Epsilon is one of the largest collegiate men’s social fraternities in North America with over 304,000 initiated members and 214 active chapters. TKE’s mission is to aid men in their mental, moral and social development for life. With nearly 12,000 collegiate members, Tau Kappa Epsilon contributes to the advancement of society through the personal growth of our members, and service to others. TKE builds Better Men for a Better World.
The Beta Eta(BH) Chapter of TKE on the Missouri S&T campus was founded on March 8, 1947. The fraternity house originally located at 1107 State St. across from campus relocated in 2018 to a brand new facility on Fraternity Drive.

Our chapter has remained a leader on the S&T campus and across TKE Nation since its founding over 75 years ago. We have won numerous Top TKE Chapter awards and have recently been recognized for our excellence in academic success, community service, chapter size/recruitment, and risk, health and safety. Our current total chapter membership is 76 with 45 living in the fraternity house (54-man capacity). We are also among TKE fundraising leaders for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, founded by our frater Danny Thomas.
The Better Men for a Better World Scholarship is one of over 20 scholarships awarded annually to members of the Beta Eta chapter. In 2025, over $25,000 were awarded to 26 members of the fraternity. Scholarship awards are based largely on academic success and involvement in the fraternity and on campus. Thanks to a very active and generous BH alumni base, our scholarships will continue to grow for years to come!
