We can now accept tax-deductible donations online via credit cards.

All online donations go to our Sigma Alpha Fund within the Rampant Lion Foundation, providing for educational activities and projects concerning our chapter. All donations will be acknowledged with a receipt from the Rampant Lion Foundation.

Please donate – we have detailed plans ready to roll for major first floor renovations to our house. However, all work is on hold until fundraising catches up.

DKE extends a warm welcome to new Virginia Tech students, returning Hokies and visiting alumni. We’re gearing up for an exciting year – our 67th at Virginia Tech – filled with football tailgates, social events, alumni reunions and the usual DKE House scene.

Over the summer our new active leadership and our Alumni Board have been working together to position the fraternity for aggressive growth and a busy calendar of events.

As we gear up for fall recruitment, we’d like to invite all new students to come see what makes DKE special. Come visit the house – we’re the big house on the right side of Roanoke Street, with the big white columns. There’s sure to be something going on.

Stay tuned for more information about fall Rush.

Congratulations to DKE’s 2008 graduates:

• Sam Dibert (Political Science)
• Elliott Fouts (Computer Science)
• Dan Sexton (Biology)

Best of luck!

We are nearing completion of the next phase of renovation work, adding three rooms, a sitting area and a bathroom to the attic level of the DKE House.

Renovations also included installation of a new staircase, HVAC systems for the 2nd and attic levels, a fire sprinkler system for the entire house, replacement doors and windows and structural repairs.

Check out the photos below!

Many thanks to Dan Johnson (Spring ’74) for steering the fraternity through this major project!

Mark your calendars for Saturday, April 19: We are arranging an Open House/Alumni Association Gathering before and after the VT football Spring Game.

We will be showing off the completed attic and second floor renovations. The contractor and architect will be present along with the House Committee members to give tours and answer questions.

Please take the time to visit for some refreshments, to view the renovation progress and see brothers. Families are welcome. We had a large turnout for the Alumni Meeting last fall and hope to repeat it!

We currently have a lot of missing brothers in our e-mail list. One of our 2008 goals is to increase e-mail communications to reduce expensive print mailings.

This will allow us to refocus funds on priorities like events and house renovations.

We’ve sent two e-mail newsletters thus far and will soon send a third. If you’re not getting these e-mails, please update your records so we have the right e-mail address!

Help us find lost brothers: please tell all brothers you keep in touch with about the newsletter, and ask them to visit this website to update their records using the link at the top.

And don’t forget, any time your contact information changes, please let us know using the Update Records link.

VT DKE alumnus Dave Calhoun (Spring ’76) picked up some more press coverage in the latest issue of Fortune magazine.

The article, “Made to Measure”, describes his management successes as CEO of The Nielsen Company, which he took over in 2006.

Dave is just another example of successful DKE alumni… check out our list of Famous Dekes.
