Frater Jason Panek’s path in Tau Kappa Epsilon was not typical, and sadly has abruptly turned as he has passed into Chapter Eternal. He began his new member candidacy at the Mu-Omega Chapter, and eventually upon transferring to Rutgers University, he was initiated into the Alpha-Eta chapter of Tau Kappa Epsilon, signing the scroll with number Alpha Eta 1332. He will be greatly missed and remembered fondly by Fraters from both chapters and across TKE Nation as a selfless and genuine individual who would do anything he could to put a smile on your face or improve your mood, even if it was at his own expense.
