Alumni Newsletter - January 2026

The Xi Chi TKE Alumni Association is committed to the proliferation and fostering of lifelong friendships through the continuous convictions of Love, Charity, and Esteem.

We hope all fraters had a wonderful Christmas and happy holidays with family and friends as well as gracious Founder’s Day on January 10th. As we venture to 2026, we aim to make it a great one.

You can follow up on future events through our our new website (see below) or via our Facebook page; link to the FB group page is in the Social Media section of our newsletter below.

Stay tuned as we reveal more about what’s in store – we can’t wait to see you there and make lasting memories together!

We want to take the time thank every frater for making 2025 an incredible year. A lot of events would’ve not been possible without your support. And moving forward to 2026, we will continue that momentum.

Fundraisers, Percentage Nights, Sports Events and More…

This year was busy with a host of different types of events like Alumni Percentage Nights at Taco Mac, Dixie Motor Speedway, Renaissance Fair, Haunted Houses, Pool Tournaments, and even cook outs.

We could have not done it without your participation and love for the chapter. The payments of dues and generous donations allowed not only these activities to take place but also reinforce old and new memories with fellow brothers in the bond from varying generations and pledge classes.

52nd Red Carnation Ball

The officer core and President Nick Allen #555 were thankful for the American Legion for allowing us to host our 52nd RCB at Horace Orr Post 29 with thirteen Alumni going through Fraternity for Life that day.

St. Judes Walk and Pig Roasts

We were proud to continue two meaningful traditions this year: our annual Pig Roast and our participation in the St. Jude Walk.

Pig Roast remains a long-standing chapter tradition that brings brothers, families, and alumni together with plenty of food, while St. Jude Walk reflects our ongoing commitment to philanthropy—an event we have proudly supported many times in the past.

Despite both events taking place on the same day, participation was strong and the outcome was exceptional. Through our involvement in the St. Jude Walk, the chapter raised over $700 in support of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, while the Pig Roast welcomed over thirty brothers and their families for a memorable gathering.

We once again want to thank frater George Galloway #178 for hosting pig roast as his residence.

Teke-mas Party

Our last event of 2025 was our Alumni Teke-mas party. We want to thank frater and upcoming father Hayden Khat #638 for hosting this party as his household. Fraters gathered in ugly sweaters by the troves and even got to enjoy a Christmas ham.

In the case you cannot attend the Alumni Association’s meetings but have ideas for future events, projects, or recommendations, worry not!

The officer core has opened a Event Suggestion Form to which you can provide ideas for event plans ranging from get-togethers to community service opportunities.

Any plans for events need to be suggested 1-2 months in advance before consideration in order to fully plan out and schedule.

Requires a Gmail login

We also want to give a quick reminder of annual dues.

Dues are currently set at $50, with a proposed increase to $100 under consideration. More to come soon

The contribution will help support alumni events, scholarships, networking opportunities, and the continued success of our association.
