What Tau Epsilon Phi Fraternity does
Mission
See schedule oto teach young men that there is more to be gained out of life by serving others. To provide the forum through fraternity for our ambitions to be heard and practiced. To give to others without selfish thought of gain or personal advancement. To create a better society where men have learned to value others as they value themselves. To have a membership who respect one another and the organization for which they all stand.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Summer leadership academy: chapter and provisional chapter leaders are invited to participate in a multi day program where attendees receive leadership training including real time practice with other attendees, assistance with planning for local chapter programs, education related to rush and recruitment of new members, financial management training related to chapter operations, review of insurance coverage, education on risk management, amnesty programs, medical amnesty programs, roster and billing policies, scholarship availability with outside partners and the tep foundation as well as the ability to take advantage of our charitable contribution matching program.
Grand chapter: this is a biennial event that brings undergraduate delegates and alumni members together for a review of governance, election of grand council (board of director) members, education on internal programs and policies as well opportunities to network with their contemporaries and fellow alumni members.
Chapter services: annually, dedicated staff meet with each chapter either in person or virtually to provide consulting services on a variety of fraternal topics. These topics include assessing national fraternity relations, candidate education, continued member education, community service and philanthropy, rush and recruitment, alumni relations, financial management, chapter management, and campus activities/leadership/ involvement. Following an assessment with our consultants, each chapter is provided tailored programing in areas of improvement. Our consultants provide this feedback, work with the necessary officers and members and then follow up on agreed upon timelines to review improvement. Those chapters that have challenges may get additional attention to help resolve open items to minimize the potential for disciplinary action.
The 3 programs described on its FY2024 Form 990, listed largest first by expense.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $774k to $589k (−24%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2022 8%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
