Welcome to Zeta Mu

Where Values, Growth, and Lifelong Bonds Converge.

As a parent, we understand that sending your child off to college and seeing them embark on their journey into adulthood can be both exciting and daunting. It's only natural to have concerns about their choices and the environments they choose to immerse themselves in during this crucial phase of their life.

At Tau Kappa Epsilon Zeta Mu, we share your commitment to nurturing the potential within each young adult who chooses to join our fraternity. We believe that fraternity life can be a positive and transformative experience, one that not only enhances academic success but also provides invaluable life skills, leadership opportunities, and a strong sense of community.

We understand that you want the best for your child, and so do we. That's why we prioritize values such as integrity, scholarship, leadership, and service within our fraternity. Our members are dedicated to personal growth, both academically and as responsible, respectful, and well-rounded individuals.
