Delta Kappa Epsilon

After what seems like a very long hiatus due to the holidays, some business travel and a general feeling of being overcome by events… we’re back.

Check out the latest alumni newsletter, now posted in our Newsletter Archive and arriving in your mailbox shortly.

If you’re a regular visitor, thanks for being patient.

Watch this space… lots happening soon. Cheers.

We’ll be holding our Alumni Association annual meeting this Saturday, November 22 at the DKE House at 1:30pm. Please come by to ask demanding questions of your Alumni Board. We’ll go over our progress and talk about plans for next year.

Open House before the meeting

We’d also like to invite you to stop by the house beforehand, between noon and 1:30pm, for a tour of the renovated attic and second floor facilities. We’ll also be showing off plans for the next phase on the first floor!

Duke game Alumni Tailgate

View map of tailgate spot

They’re still going, and going strong. Our list of alumni tailgate attendees to date is well over 50 by now. Why not join us and add your name to the list?

Lynn Leslie (Winter ‘88) is hosting the event to help you rekindle old friendships with familiar faces. Kickoff is at 5:30 pm, so we will start at 2:30 pm.

As always, our location is Lot 4, Space 94, located across Spring Drive from the football stadium and just down from the softball field. We’re in the corner, with one side facing Southgate Drive and the other side backing up to the track. See you there.

We are continuing to attract new believers to the Alumni Tailgate.

A full list of attendees is forthcoming, but we did see Jerry Bryant, Chuck Bradley (Winter ‘76) and Charlie Webb (Spring ‘85) among others, plus an awful lot of active brothers including all 10 Fall ‘08 pledges. Impressive. And, the Hokies might even have an offense. Things are looking up.

On that note we’re thrilled to announce that we’ve come up with a real reason to come to the Duke game on November 22:

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.

We will be holding an Open House and very brief Alumni Association meeting a couple hours before the Miami football game on November 17. We’d like to invite you to come see all the great work we’ve put into the house. Board members will be on hand along with our contractor and architect to show off the latest renovation efforts, make a few announcements and take questions. If you’re in town we hope you’ll join us for a bite and a drink or two to reconnect with the fraternity.

Open House: 12 noon – whenever
Meeting: 1:00 – 1:30 pm

Welcome to our new website. On behalf of the Alumni Association and the active brotherhood I hope you enjoy it.

We will use this site to share the latest information about the active DKE chapter, the Alumni Association and the historic DKE House in Blacksburg.

2006 marked our chapter’s 65th year at Virginia Tech, and 2008 will be our 40th year at 302 East Roanoke Street. With the financial support of the Alumni Association, the DKE House is undergoing its most significant restoration and modernization program ever. We’ll keep you posted on our progress here.

Thanks for visiting. I hope you’ll check back often.
