Kappa Eta Kappa (Greek, Ancient (to 1453);: ΚΗΚ) is an American co-educational professional fraternity for electrical engineering and computer engineering. It was founded in 1923 at the University of Iowa.
Kappa Eta Kappa was founded in 1923 at the University of Iowa.[1] It was established as a professional fraternity for students who were majoring in electrical engineering.[2]
The preamble to the constitution of KHK states the principles of the organization:
Believing that the attainment of education, as well as technical training, is the aim of all true engineers, we band ourselves together to foster and promote fraternal relationships among electrical engineering students; to strive at all times for the maintenance of a complete and lasting understanding and fellowship between faculty and students; to unceasingly cherish and develop the character and ideals of service as the necessary attributes of the profession.[3]After the founding of the Alpha chapter, other chapters were quickly added. Five chapters closed because of World War II.[4]
The fraternity's colors are purple and gold. Its symbol is the lightning bolt. Its publication is The Electron.
KHK requires that members are majoring or will major in electrical engineering, computer engineering or computer science. The fraternity is co-educational.
