The purpose of college is to improve oneself through a proper and meaningful education. Nothing else will improve your personal and career opportunities as much as a strong scholastic record. Joining a fraternity, however, gives an individual many opportunities to improve upon his GPA, especially when considering that, statistically, students in Greek organizations score higher on average than non-Greek students. Fraternity men also have higher graduation rates, report a much more fulfilling educational experience, and better collegiate experience overall. Indeed, in the fall of 2008, while non-Greeks on Winthrop's campus achieved an average GPA of 2.67, the Brothers of TKE's Rho-Alpha chapter maintained an average GPA of 2.96 - one of the highest on campus.

College is a tremendous life change, and being part of a fraternity offers a vast source of knowledge and support to members. Tau-Kappa-Epsilon provides its members with every resource they will need to achieve their goals both in college and in their social experience. We at Rho-Alpha provide a scholarship committee, study hours, tutoring programs, study partners, and the pledge of every Brother to work with each other toward academic success. Nationally, these TKE-wide services have resulted in TKE CEO's, entrepreneurs, nationally recognized musicians, governors, and even a President of the United States of America, as well as many other important and prestigious positions.
