# Sigma-Epsilon Chapter

Better Men for a Better World. Brothers at Oneonta since 1989.

[Join Sigma-Epsilon](https://tkeoneonta.org/join/)[Alumni](https://tkeoneonta.org/alumni/)

Welcome

## Built at Oneonta. Brothers for life.

Since 1989, the men of Sigma-Epsilon have shown up for each other. We show up at study tables before midterms, on intramural fields, at the St. Jude Walk/Run, and at the weddings, reunions and job changes that come after graduation.

We're students first. We pick brothers for their character, not their connections. And we're part of Tau Kappa Epsilon, a fraternity of more than 300,000 men that calls itself the Fraternity for Life and means it.

Whether you're a student looking for your people, an alumnus reconnecting, or a parent wondering what fraternity life looks like today, you're in the right place.

### Scholarship

We push each other to do well in class and to graduate on time.

### Character

We judge a man by his personal worth, not his status. TKE was founded on that idea in 1899.

### Leadership

Every brother gets the chance to run something real.

### Brotherhood

Friendships that outlast college, and a network of Tekes everywhere you go.

## For the kids of St. Jude

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is TKE's primary philanthropy. It was founded by a Teke. In 2019, Tau Kappa Epsilon committed to raising $10 million for St. Jude over 10 years, the largest commitment to the hospital by any men's fraternity. Sigma-Epsilon does its part every year.
