Delta Kappa Epsilon

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!
