Delta Kappa Epsilon

With regrets we pass on word that Charles Herbert Marshall III passed away in Maryland in May. “Doc” Marshall was a Deke from the Phi chapter at Yale (where he was NFL star Calvin Hill’s big brother!) who came to Virginia Tech as a graduate student in 1976. Doc will be remembered from his VT days for shattering the color barrier at the Sigma Alpha chapter and bringing disco dancing to the Deke basement. DKE became a better place because of Doc’s presence, although graciously the disco music was banned from most DKE parties saving embarrassment for all of us born with two left feet. Our hearts and thoughts go to the family and friends of our brother.

We are underway on the first phase of DKE House interior renovations! We received the building permit for the interior construction on July 5th and began demolition work the next day.

Our plan is to do the second floor bathroom remodeling as well as other renovations on the second floor, install the permanent access to the attic level and complete the demolition/clearing of old rooms on the attic level.

Have a look at photos of demolition and construction in progress:

This phase of the work is expected to be completed in August.
