We, the Xi-Iota Chapter of Tau Kappa Epsilon, strive to be the Fraternity for Life, aiding young men with their mental, social, physical, and spiritual growth with a brotherhood based upon the principles of Love, Charity, and Esteem. We aim for our brothers to be quality citizens of the community and society.
Welcome to the Tau Kappa Epsilon Xi Iota Chapter at UCF! If you are an undergraduate student here at the University of Central Florida, please stop to check out our Recruitment Page or check out our upcoming events on our Calendar to try and get involved!
Tau Kappa Epsilon is a brotherhood of men who support each other's mental, moral, and social development. Since its founding in 1899, more than 250,000 men of good character have become members. We currently operate Chapters and Colonies on 269 college campuses across the United States and Canada, which makes us the largest college social fraternity in the world.
Members of Tau Kappa Epsilon value scholarship, character, leadership, teamwork, service, and brotherhood. We aim to make a positive difference in society, and become better people in the process.

Tau Kappa Epsilon’s biennial convention, Conclave, was held earlier this August in New Orleans. Our chapter officially sent eight men on the trip with several others tagging along for the experiences in brotherhood. The Xi-Iota chapter here at the University of Central Florida is making a mark with the Offices of the Grand Chapter by bringing home two awards from Nationals this year. We earned the Excellence in Involvement - Community Service and the Excellence in Achievement - Extracurricular Activities awards. Furthermore, we also were mentioned as being one of the top twenty-five chapters nationally for number of new members initiated.
Not only did the chapter perform well as a whole, but also we are proud to announce that our President Anthony Battaglia was one of the eight men from thousands of applicants who took home the most prestigious award bestowed upon undergraduates for being a Top Teke. This is in recognition of his hard work in devotion to academics and to the Fraternity. In addition to serving as President of Tau Kappa Epsilon, Anthony serves on the President’s Leadership Council, sits on the Judicial Review Board, and has maintained a 3.8 here at UCF.
Congratulation to my brothers on an outstanding spring semester. I know we are all excited to look forward to the fall semester and building upon the successes we have been experiencing. Next step is recruitment starting September 2nd at Lake Claire!
Yours in the Bond,
Andrew Peterson
Vice President
