Quoting from the Kappa Mu Epsilon <a href="http://www.kappamuepsilon.org/">national chapter website</a>:
"The primary purposes of being a member of Kappa Mu Epsilon include the following : 
<ol>
<li> to further the interests of mathematics in those schools which place their primary emphasis on undergraduate programs; 
<li> to help undergraduate students realize the important role that mathematics has played in the development of civilization; 
<li> to develop an appreciation of the power and beauty possessed by mathematics, due, mainly, to its demand for logical and rigorous modes of thought; 
<li> to provide a society for the recognition of outstanding achievement in the study of mathematics at the undergraduate level; 
<li> to disseminate the knowledge of mathematics and familiarize its members with the current progress in this important area of human interest." 
</ol>
The faculty co-advisors for the ETSU Chapter of the math honor society Kappa Mu Epsilon are 
<a href="http://faculty.etsu.edu/beelerr/">Dr. Robert Beeler</a> and
