We’ve just corrected an error in our Update Records form. If you tried to use it earlier and it did not give you a confirmation message, please submit it again. We apologize for the inconvenience. Thanks for helping us build our contact list!
We’ve just finished and sent the latest Alumni newsletter, containing news about the Capital Campaign, house renovation project and other upcoming events. Look for it in your mailbox shortly, or download the PDF.
If you’re not receiving our newsletter, please submit your current contact information using our Update Records form.
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.
Open fraternity rush begins Wednesday, January 30. Delta Kappa Epsilon invites interested men to meet the brothers and learn about the fraternity at a variety of events over the coming weeks.
