Kappa Epsilon Fraternity boasts a proud tradition. Founded in Iowa City, Iowa, on May 13, 1921, KE evolved to fulfill an interest in an organization to unite all women pharmacy students in the United States. Led by Professor Zada M. Cooper of Iowa, representatives of the women's clubs of the University of Minnesota, University of Nebraska, and State University of Iowa started an organization which today includes over 16,000 members comprising 34 collegiate and 12 alumnae chapters.

Originally started as the Mortar and Pestle Club, the Xi Chapter of KE at the University of Texas at Austin has since brought men and women together through the bonds of brotherhood, professionalism, and leadership. KE is especially dedicated to serving the community and supporting our national chapter project of Breast Cancer Awareness and our chapter project of Poison Prevention.
