Why Join?

Congratulations on being accepted to the University of Southern California. You should be extremely proud of yourself for earning a spot at one of the finest universities in the world. There is no doubt that you have the best years of your life ahead of you.

While college will be one of the most memorable times of your life, men who join a fraternity realize an even greater appreciation for all that college has to offer. A fraternity bonds young men together through shared experiences, common goals, hard work, and good times. It creates lifelong friendships and opportunities for collaboration between accomplished and motivated young men who share common values.

Our candidate process is carefully designed with the purpose of developing college-aged candidates into successful students and men who can thrive in the competitive environment of USC and beyond. Throughout the process, you will be challenged to maximize your potential. This opportunity will open many doors for success within your college career, and more importantly, will connect you with the people who will provide the tools for you to lead a successful and productive life after university.

The Beta-Sigma Chapter of Tau Kappa Epsilon is one of the strongest and most selective fraternal organizations in the world. We encourage you to Rush TKE.
