At the close of the 1975 spring semes- ter, the lnterfraternity Council had found the Mu Zeta chapter guilty of five charges brought against them by Pi Kappa Alpha, including vandalism, theft and criminal mischief. The IFC ordered a monetary reim- bursement to Pi Kappa Alpha and placed Tau Kappa Epsilon on a one-year proba- tion.

Their determination and work on cam- pus led the Judicial Board of the lnterfra- ternity Council to vote in February to remove them from probation. IFC President Vic Lafont explained the move as Tau Kappa Epsilon having come a long way since the incidents. I think its members have done a lot to change their attitudes and goals, he said. Their goals included both campus and community service and support. Dressed in special Bicentennial jerseys with red, white and blue trim, Tau Kappa Epsilon sat together to support the Colo- nels at many home football and basket- ball events. During Homecoming Week, the frater- nity built a display entitled Damn the Demons and marched in the parade. During the football season a delegation of TKEs traveled to Livingston, Ala., and Florence, Ala., for the games against Liv- ingston State and the University of North 195 Tau Kappa Epsilon Alabama respectively. In basketball season, Tau Kappa Epsi- lon traveled to Hammond for the match- up with Southeastern Louisiana. For the ninth straight year, they won the All-Sports trophy and the first place finish in the fraternity division of Greek Week competition. Being the largest fraternity, with 58 members and 14 pledges, it was not uncommon for TKE to enter more than one team in competition.
