Once again Tau Kappa Epsilon hosted one of the locations for the annual CAA Blood Drive Challenge on October 29^th. Drexel has won this blood drive challenge for the past three years and is eyeing its fourth victory. Students from all over campus came to the TKE house to donate. The TKE house is a prime location because it is located on the edge of campus and attracts many students involved in Greek Life and students that do not live in the center of our campus.
The blood drive lasted all day and we were able to get 82 units of blood at the TKE house alone. This does not include any other locations which beat our previous records.  Hopefully this is enough units combined with the other locations on campus to get Drexel its fourth CAA Blood Drive Challenge win.

The Community Alumni Network at Drexel University (CAN DU), an outreach program of the Drexel University Alumni Association, supports alumni, students, faculty, and staff in making a difference in our community. Recently the brothers of Tau Kappa Epsilon attended there community service event at the Morton McMichael Elementary School in West Philadelphia. The brothers joined other Drexel volunteers to help revitalize and transform the school’s teacher’s garden, pre-k and kindergarten playground, and library. This was a great event because the brothers were able to directly help out the community. When the brothers arrived, the school was looking in bad shape but by the end of the day they were able to really change the image of this school in a positive way.

The Brothers of Tau Kappa Epsilon hosted a charity fundraiser on March 7, 2009 and the following week on March 14, 2009 to raise money for Alzheimer's.  Taco Lou's homemade burritos and nachos were made available for purchase in front of the TKE Mansion located at 3421 Powelton Ave. In total TKE donated $200.00 to The National Alzheimer's Association. Steven Lucas and Alex Dettmer, fundraising chairs for TKE, were very proud with the out come of these events are proud to announce their donation to Drexel's campus.  "We would like to thank everyone that came and to support us, but more importantly The National Alzheimer's Association.  The money donated will go directly towards researching for a cure in the hopes to, in the near future, end this terrible disease", said Dettmer. 

For the third year in a row, the Alpha Tau Chapter has received the honor of being selected as a Top TKE Chapter. This most recent award is the 18^th overall for Alpha Tau.  

Alpha Tau would also like to thank our BOA, our Alumni and all of the Undergraduates whose hard work and dedication made it possible for us to continue our tradition of excellence. Special thanks are due to our Vice President, Sean O’Toole, who put tremendous effort into this year’s application.  Without Sean’s direction and leadership, Top TKE 2008 would not have been possible.
