Yesterday, 56 Tekes, family and friends came together at Yankee Stadium for one of baseball’s greatest rivalries, Yankees vs. Red Sox!

Fraters from across the area enjoyed an incredible night of Brotherhood, baseball and some custom TKE Yankees hats to top it all off.

A great night of connecting generations of Tekes and celebrating Brotherhood in the Bronx!

Elevate The Legacy.

VGP Charles W. Whittington Jr: Full Inaugural Address

“We inherited a great Fraternity. Now we must make it greater.”

In his Inaugural Address at Conclave 2026 in New Orleans, Venerable Grand Prytanis Charles W. Whittington Jr. challenges Fraters across TKE Nation to remember that legacy is not simply what we inherit. It is what we strengthen, grow and pass forward.

“The next generation will not ask whether we loved the Legacy. They will ask whether we lifted it.“

When Brotherhood hits the open water

We can’t believe it’s already been almost two weeks since Conclave 2026 came to a close in New Orleans.

We’re looking back at some of our favorite moments from the TKE❤️STJUDE event aboard the Riverboat CITY of NEW ORLEANS, where Fraters, family and friends came together for an unforgettable evening celebrating Brotherhood and our old/new commitment to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

Conclave may be over, but the memories will last a lifetime.

It is with immense sadness that the Offices of the Grand Chapter announces the passing of Grand Officer, Frater Anthony Clemens (Nu-Mu, University of South Alabama).

Frater Clemens was a dedicated servant leader who held numerous volunteer roles prior to his time on the Grand Council. He was a staple at TKE Leadership Programs, attending Conclaves and nearly every RLC for the past decade. Frater Tony was selected as a Grand Council Member At-Large in 2012-2013, elected Grand Hegemon two terms extending from 2013-2017, two terms as Grand Hypophetes from 2017-2022, and Grand Pylortes in the most recent biennium 2024-2026.

Frater Tony was a Life Loyal Teke who received the Key Leader Award (twice), Volunteer of Month, Order of the North, Business Council Award, TKE Foundation Medal of Excellence, and the Love, Charity, and Esteem Award. He attended and served during scores of Chartering Ceremonies, Chapter Anniversaries, and Province Forums.

We extend our deepest condolences to his family, friends, and all who were blessed to know him during this difficult time.

Per Chapter XXIII, Sec. 2 of the Black Book, all members of TKE should wear a black ribbon under their badge for the next 14 days. Additionally, all TKE flags should be displayed at half-mast.

May Frater Anthony Clemens Rest in Peace in the Chapter Eternal.
