Beta-Sigma TKE finally receives a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. “It’s about damn time” said TKE President George Mulry when asked for comment by KTLA reporter Cher Calvin. The chapter was nominated by the USC Board of Trustees late last year. Ellen K, radio show host on KOST 103.5 FM and current Chair of the Selection panel noted, “It’s all about the Rizz these boys bring to the world.” TKE USC is the first and only fraternity to share such an honor.

The TKETENT returns for USC’s inaugural season in the Big Ten conference with 4 tailgates this year and a special Cocktail Party at the TKE house the evening before the Homecoming game! We’re excited for this new era in ‘SC football and can’t wait to see you again at the first tailgate event of the 2024 season, USC vs. Wisconsin, on Saturday, September 28th. We are also planning to have tailgates for Penn State (10/12), Nebraska (11/16) and Notre Dame (11/30). 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!

The TKE Tent sponsor sweep is complete! Our October 12th game against Penn State will be a wild ride thanks to Brad Harpur ’11 who will be sponsoring this event. Every TKE Tent is now financially supported by one of our generous Beta-Sigma alumni. Thank you Brad for all the many things you do for the TKE Tent!
Sad news from Bill Swank #653: “It is with great sorrow our frater Art Bauer passed away from a heart attack on Monday. I last spoke to Art at the USC-LSU 
game eleven days ago. He took his grandson to the game and they had a wonderful time. I was looking forward to seeing him again at the UCLA and Notre Dame games in November. Please let other fraters know. Art was a good friend and he loved the TKE. See the photo he sent us just before the game started.” RIP Frater Art Bauer.
Excitement grows for our USC Trojans and our TKE Tent! Our November 16th Homecoming game against Nebraska is going to be a big success thanks to Wes Goldstein ’97 who will be sponsoring the event. Wes is our third alumni to step up this season. Thank you Wes it’s going to be epic!!
Our Notre Dame TKE Tent on November 30th 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…
Our September 28th TKE Tent for the Wisconsin 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.
