RIP Conrad Solum
We lost the greatest Beta-Sigma TKE of all time. Connie’s last interaction with the chapter was the 75th Anniversary in October 2023. We should be thankful that he was able see the greatness that his fraternity has become. Connie is now with his beloved wife Alli is a much better place. We will be informed of upcoming services.

TKE Tent 2025 Tailgate Schedule
The TKETENT returns for another big year in the Big Ten conference with 4 tailgates this season! We are looking forward to seeing you again at the first tailgate event of the 2025 season, USC vs. Michigan State, on Saturday, September 20th. We are also planning to have tailgates for Michigan (10/11), Iowa (11/15) and UCLA (11/29). We’re still in the process of locking down the location for each of our tailgates but hope to be in our same place on the Expo Lawn East if at all possible. (If we aren’t able to secure that spot we plan on hosting the tailgates on campus with specific location details to be provided soon and posted at TKETENT.COM.) Whether you have USC season tickets, no tickets, or only attend a few games a year, the TKETENT is the BEST place to be on a gameday. Come eat, drink, and catch up with those you haven’t seen in years. We hope you’ll join us at the TKETENT this season. Only credit cards are accepted at the door (not in advance), and admission is $45/adults & $20/kids. Come enjoy ‘SC Football with TKE!
2025 TKETENT Committee
Wes Goldstein and Brad Harpur Team Up to Sponsor the Michigan State TKE Tent!
Our opening TKE Tent game against Michigan State will be a wild ride thanks to Wes Goldstein ’97 Brad Harpur ’11 who will be sponsoring the event. Almost every TKE Tent is now financially supported by one of our generous Beta-Sigma alumni. Thank you Wes and Brad for all the many things you do for the TKE Tent!
Greg and Cay Woodson Sponsor the UCLA TKE Tent!
Our UCLA TKE Tent on November 29th is now a lock due to the generous sponsorship of Greg ’69 and Cay Woodson. Thank you Greg and Cay! Brad Harpur who is the operational mastermind behind the new TKE Tent format could not be happier. We now have two 1970’s era Beta-Sigma TKEs who are demonstrating what it means to be Life Loyal. Stay tuned for more…
Gary Hafen Sponsors the Michigan TKE Tent!
Our October 11th TKE Tent for the Michigan game is a lock thanks to Gary Hafen ’70 who will be sponsoring the event. Thank you Gary! The costs associated with running the TKE Tent continue to increase and make it very difficult for us to operate like we have in the past, but our alumni are stepping up to to preserve our tailgate tradition.
