Remembering Jack Price

Remembering Jack Price, YI44
Upsilon-Iota Faculty Advisor - 2004 - 2011

Our beloved faculty advisor, mentor, friend, and frater, John "Jack" Price, passed away on December 24, 2011 (born Sept 3, 1951).

Jack was such an integral part of how the Upsilon-Iota chapter got started as an interest group to colony to chapter and ultimately to one of the top TKE chapters in the world.

Even before he became a TKE in 2006, Jack truly typified the principles of our great fraternity.  His bright smile that showed regard for all and had an amazing ability to make everyone feel comfortable around him.  He had an uncanny ability to see the good in everyone.  His desire to see both his students and Tekes succeed academically and personally has made a mark on all of our lives.

Jack has been an avid donor to the TKE Educational Foundation since 2008 because he truly believed in the affect TKE can and does have on collegiate men.

For these reasons and so many others, the Upsilon Iota chapter have set up an Memorial Scholarship under Jack's name.  Please click the button below to support this Memorial Scholarship.
