Tau Kappa Epsilon brothers are individuals who have been initiated into Tau Kappa Epsilon (TKE), a fraternity founded by five men – Joseph Lorenzo Settles, James Carson McNutt, Clarence Arthur Mayer, Owen Ison Truitt, and Charles Roy Atkinson – on January 10, 1899, at Illinois Wesleyan University in Bloomington, Illinois. Members traditionally initiate into a chapter during their collegiate career, although honorary members may not necessarily have attended a university or college. The list of Tau Kappa Epsilon brothers spans multiple careers including politics, business, athletics, and entertainment. Among the most recognized include U.S. president Ronald Reagan, who was the recipient of the Order of the Golden Eagle, the fraternity's highest honor. Dozens of top CEOs and university presidents have also made the list such as Howard Schultz, CEO of Starbucks, and Steve Forbes (pictured) of the magazine Forbes, who was the fraternity's 250,000th initiate. Many athletes and musicians are also members including NFL quarterbacks Terry Bradshaw, Phil Simms, and Aaron Rodgers, and singers Elvis Presley, Willie Nelson, and the Everly Brothers. (Full list...)
