Mu Epsilon Kappa (ΜΕΚ) is an organization that "strives to create a safe and accepting environment of inter- and intra-cultural communication in which people are welcome to express themselves and explore their interests without fear of ridicule or persecution".

[1] The Mu Epsilon Kappa Society started at the University of North Texas in the 1980s as an anime club called Northstar.

The name later changed to Mu Epsilon Kappa in 1995 after it was taken over by recently transferred students who had been members of the club by the same name at Texas Tech.

In 2007, they joined with the anime club at Mississippi State University to form the Mu Epsilon Kappa Society, with the goal of creating a national network of clubs designed to provide a haven for nerdy people to meet others like them.

Many MEK chapters also participate in local community activities and service projects.
