FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: On the evening of Friday November 18, Nu Chapter held its most recent initiation in which we welcomed 9 new Fraters into our Bond. The Tau class worked very hard throughout the semester, participating in events that demonstrated to them TKE’s core values of love, charity and esteem. The Tau class is a diverse bunch, with Fraters from all over California as well as Oregon and Washington.
“I’m thrilled to have crossed,” says Alex McLean, who is among the newly initiated. “Pledging was exciting and fulfilling, but I’m excited to explore other aspects of the brotherhood.” Indeed, the Taus have much to look forward to as they take their first steps into our rich Bond on social, academic, philanthropic and professional fronts. As the semester winds down, Nu chapter continues to celebrate its new initiates, and we are certain that they will prove themselves successful, contributing members of our community.
