WHY TAU KAPPA OMEGA?

  • Making the decision to join Greek Life opens up many doors and opportunities. Sometimes, it is confusing to find the “right” fraternity for you. 

  • TAU KAPPA OMEGA  is not only for Asian-Americans. It is an organization for anyone with an interest in the history, philosophy, and culture of Asia seeking to learn personal leadership skills and form lifelong relationships. The core philosophy of our fraternity is based upon the ritualistic Japanese art of drumming known as Taiko. In essence, it is the harmony of many drums to make one powerful, fluid sound. Just as each drum in a Taiko performance has its role, each Brother is a drum with his own contribution. Through a foundation of nine elemental principles (Respect, Love, Honor, Perseverance, Charity, Wisdom, Knowledge, Faith, Harmony), each brother comes together to form one sound and one Brotherhood

HOW DO I JOIN?

  • Find the schedule for rush events at the beginning of the semester. Remember, the easiest way for prospective members to get to know the fraternity and its brothers is to attend rush. Keep in mind that rush is completely non-obligatory and does not commit anyone to doing anything, so enjoy learning about what the fraternity has to offer and make some new friends along the way.
