2026 Date: Sat., Jan. 17th, 2026

We have held eleven (11) very successful “Theta Kappa Commanders’ Dinners” to honor our new and out-going commanders as well as several alumni. These twelve young men (we honored 3 in 2023 due to Covid) have helped lead the renaissance of the new Theta Kappa Chapter along with our volunteers and have established us as one of the top chapters in the nation. These events were a great mix of socializing between many of our past commanders/special guests and the business and fraternity side – using the time to mentor and coach the new commander as well as get updates and exchange ideas on the current state and future of our chapter. Each honored commander and guest has indicated they got a lot out of the event as well connecting with the brothers who have walked in their shoes. After they finish their term, they rejoin us as a graduating senior or an alumnus then continue to return continuing this tradition. We look for the next event to be even larger and we all look forward to it.
