INDIANAPOLIS - The Offices of the Grand Chapter is excited to announce the 2019-2020 Individual and Chapter Award Winners.

"On behalf of the International Headquarters of Tau Kappa Epsilon, I want to congratulate all of our 2019-20 Award Winners," said Chief Executive Officer Donald E. Aldrich. "These chapters and individual Fraters succeeded through unique challenges over the past academic year and are prime examples of our Expectation of Excellence within TKE. Their dedication to superior performance fosters a positive impact on their campuses and in their communities. Thank you to the alumni, volunteers, and advisors who worked tirelessly and gave selflessly to make these honors a reality. Tau Kappa Epsilon has a bright future due to groups such as these that advance our mission!"

In addition, beginning in 2019, Frater Aldrich commissioned the creation of a new award entitled the 100% KRA award. This award recognizes groups who achieve 100% or higher on their Key Results Area scorecard. In its first year, 40 groups achieved 100% KRA. This year, 25 groups achieved 100% KRA.
