TKE at Georgia Tech occupies four contiguous lots at the corner of 5th Street and Techwood Drive on the Georgia Tech campus. We are just across the 5th Street bridge from Tech Square. We have been at this location since 1959. The property is held in trust for the fraternity by a Board of Trustees, all of whom are alumni of the Chapter.
Our dormitory has 76 spaces in two-person rooms. Each pair of rooms shares a bathroom between them. The dormitory also contains several large study/meeting rooms and space for storing house tools. All floors are accessible via stairs and an elevator.
Our social quarters can seat the entire chapter for dinner and meetings and provides the venue for indoor parties. It contains several nooks that can be repurposed as needed as well as storage and an apartment for our live-in chef. The social quarters also contains our industrial-quality kitchen.
One of the distinguishing features of our facilities is the large outdoor area featuring a partially-covered deck, a basketball quarter court, and the best full-size private volleyball court on campus.
History of Beta Pi
Founded in January 1948 by veterans of the Second World War, our chapter provides a large residential and member experience year-round. We dine together, live together, and provide a platform for personal and organizational growth to unlock the full potential for each man. Tekes live a life of values steeped in our Declaration of Principles, helping each member integrate LOVE, CHARITY, and ESTEEM into his daily life. Learn More

Campus Involvement
Academics We want all of our graduates to leave Georgia Tech as better thinkers and problem solvers and we cultivate our development through surrounding ourselves with a diverse group of talented brothers. Today you can find Beta Pi Tekes studying majors in each of Georgia Tech's colleges, from Computer Science to Biomedical Engineering to Business Administration.
Our Tekes are President's Scholars, Dean's Scholars, members of the Denning Technology & Management program, BS/MS students, Double Majors, Teaching Assistants and Research Assistants.

Social/Athletics Tekes at Georgia Tech are front and center in many campus organizations and in intramural athletics. Our brothers value organizations and events that build character, provide valuable leadership experiences, and expand their student networks. Our registered parties are legendary. Some of the biggest social events we hold are Fall Fest, Polar Beach and TKE Glow.
Philanthropy We believe it is our duty to give back to the broader Georgia Tech and Atlanta Community and our chapter is consistently one of the top philanthropic chapters on campus and among all TKE chapters, directly raising over $100,000 for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, over $50,000 for childhood cancer research working with St Baldrick’s volunteer and donor supported charity and have helped donate thousands of meals to front line workers in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Any graduating Teke will tell you that philanthropy was one of their most rewarding and enjoyable college experiences.
