Quoting from the Kappa Mu Epsilon national chapter website: "The primary purposes of being a member of Kappa Mu Epsilon include the following :

1. to further the interests of mathematics in those schools which place their primary emphasis on undergraduate programs;
2. to help undergraduate students realize the important role that mathematics has played in the development of civilization;
3. to develop an appreciation of the power and beauty possessed by mathematics, due, mainly, to its demand for logical and rigorous modes of thought;
4. to provide a society for the recognition of outstanding achievement in the study of mathematics at the undergraduate level;
5. to disseminate the knowledge of mathematics and familiarize its members with the current progress in this important area of human interest."
