Tau Kappa Epsilon is an international fraternity that was started January 10, 1899, in Illinois. The Gamma Alpha Chapter at the University of Wyoming was started on May 22, 1949, with 26 charter members. It continued to be active on campus until the early 1970s, holding activities such as dances, parties, pledge rushes, songfests, snow sculpture contests, and community service activities. The chapter was declared inactive in 1978. Attempts to revive it in 1991 and 1998 proved unsuccessful. The TKE Board of Control held reunions until 1991 and helped celebrate the 50th anniversary of the chapter in 1999.
