Delta Kappa Epsilon Memories What is your fondest memory of being part of Delta Kappa Epsilon? One brother says: “Too many individual times to single out one instance. However, my fondest memories are of the good times with my pledge brothers and others in the House. The traditional Christmas party, going through pledge training and […]
Why would anyone volunteer to oversee our fraternity?
Could volunteering with your brothers really lead to a longer life?
According to a recent article by the Wall Street Journal, volunteering could be good for your health – particularly once you’re retired. A study “involving more than 64,000 subjects age 60 and older from 1998 to 2010 has found results suggesting that volunteering slows the cognitive decline of aging.”
Still not convinced by the science behind volunteering preventing aging? How about this: a study proving that friendship also prolongs life. A Harvard study that tracked 268 men for nearly 80 years found that “close relationships, more than money or fame, are what keep people happy throughout their lives.”

DKE-UNC – A Bond Unbroken
Thoughts on Why We Give
“When I meet a brother, unseen or without contact over many years, the connection is still felt.”
Have you ever asked yourself why you give-if you give, that is? If the statisticians are right, only one brother in ten is likely to give back regularly once they put on their cap and gown.
There are lots of good reasons to give, of course. Do you believe in affording the next generation of young men the same experience you had with DKE UNC? Maybe something good happened to you just by being together in that house, sharing those experiences that helped make you who you are now.

Take a Minute This Season and Call an old Friend
The final phase of the holiday season is officially upon us and things are busy, busy busy! It’s easy to forget why we do all this rushing around and spending every year considering the stress we put ourselves through. There is really no better time in the year to finally make that call to your Beta Brother that you have been meaning to make and no better time to help the Chapter. You never know when that simple call or text to an old friend this time of year could make all the difference in the world.
