Kappa Eta Kappa is a professional engineering fraternity at the Milwaukee School of Engineering. The only requirement for membership in KHK is that you are enrolled at MSOE and are not active in any of the other school fraternities. We are looking for well-rounded, motivated individuals who are willing to contribute as well as achieve.

As a national fraternity, KHK membership assists in making contacts with professionals outside of Milwaukee, including Madison and the Minneapolis metropolitan areas. We also have alumni in all areas of study who provide valuable resources and internships. Membership in the fraternity not only gains you the opportunity to advance academically and professionally, but also a chance to enjoy varied social experiences.

 

Current Position: Treasurer, 4th term.

Kappa Projects

Basement Ceiling

During the 2003-2004 school year the basement ceiling of the Kappa House was sheet rocked, finished and painted.  This was a big job that required over 20 sheets of sheet rock, over 10 gallons of joint mud, over 5 gallons of snow drop white paint.

Living room paint and bar refinishing

Prior to a formal cocktail party in the spring of 2006 the entire living room was repainted in snow drop white and the trim was painted in the fraternity color of purple.  The original design of the living room bar was modified and completed with the addition of a tap tree and sink for better utilization of the bar.  The top and side rails of the bar were refinished and clear coated with over 8 coats of clear coat.  The living room was redecorated with the fraternity banner and flag and the plaques won by KHK over the years at Homecoming and Saint Patrick's day events were displayed prominently.

Fire Extinguishers

Through the 05-06 and 06-07 school years as money would allow I began to order and install fire extinguisher boxes in the Fraternity house.  These boxes would allow the fire extinguishers to remain secure from misuse and to be in the same location when ever they are needed.  They are also bright red and would make find the fire extinguisher in a smoky condition much easier.  This addition adds much more consistency to the placement of the fire extinguishers and creates a situation where the fire safety equipment is treated with respect and not misused.

          

House Guide Document

During the 05-06 school year Chris started gathering and putting into writing all of the house rules that had previously been unwritten and enforced by the house manager.  Over the summer of 2006 this document was refined and edited and at the start of the 06-07 school year the document was ready for approval.  It came before the active members of the fraternity and was approved on September 5, 2006.

 

This document will allow for more consistent rules for the fraternity house and will have a very positive effect on the fraternity.  We feel that this will be well used and very much appreciated by members for years to come.
