Delta Kappa Epsilon UIUC

After a successful spring rush, the brotherhood is excited to welcome our new Rho Class! Looking forward to a great semester ITB

Some new members of our Executive Board took a trip to DC this past weekend for the annual DKE officers academy.

Philip Walby (President), Samuel Leidig (Treasurer), and Alex Engel (Judicial), learned lots of valuable information that they can bring back to the local chapter. They got to meet and learn from dekes all around the country and Canada while contributing their own experiences. Thank you to everyone who made this trip possible!

Congratulations to the Pi class on their initiation! ITB 🎉🍾

DKE Brothers and Alumni gathered together to celebrate Founder’s Day this past Saturday

On this day in 1844 in New Haven Connecticut, 15 young gentlemen came together and founded the Delta Kappa Epsilon Fraternity. 5 U.S Presidents, over 50 Senators, countless successful Businessmen, and 179 Years later we celebrate the founding of our incredible Fraternity.

Congratulations to our recent graduates! You all have left your mark on the Delta Pi chapter, and we know you’ll all do great things!

We’re one week into recruitment for our Fall 2021 class, come meet the brothers of Delta Kappa Epsilon, we’re always excited to meet new and different men!

As we go into fall break, we’re thankful that the members of our chapter maintained health and safety in these challenging times. This semester has been different to say the least, but we all need to adapt to ensure a successful semester. Did we mention we also initiated a new class? Stay tuned 👀

May 23, 1908 - 2,500 copies of “The Songs of DKE” were published and made available. The record has been reprinted a number of times and has now been re-mastered in a CD format.

January 16, 1908

Commander Robert E. Peary (Theta-Bowdoin College) was presented with a Deke flag by the Northeastern Alumni Association at its annual dinner to the St. Regis Hotel. It was this Deke flag that Brother Peary took with him to the North Pole and which is shown in the famous photograph taken at the North Pole. The flag which is pictured is now available for viewing at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C. Nearly 200 members were present for the dinner and each member present was presented with a bronze bowl inscribed with the letters “D.K.E.”. Beside each plate stood a miniature Deke flag. Before Brother Peary spoke, he was greeted with a Fraternity song “adapted to the occasion” set to the tune of Tammany:

We hail Commander Peary. Theta’s gallant son and bold.
Who has carried to the farthest north the crimson, gold, and blue;
He comes from Maine and rides the main like a Viking, bold and free:
In Zero Land he’s a hero, and he’s a loyal D.K.E.

Rush is underway!

It is sad to share that one of our great Brothers and our country’s 41st President, George H.W. Bush, has passed away tonight. You will be missed.
