Scale of

impact

A solid foundation in education is key to success, not only for our chapters but for our brothers as well. Your donation directly impacts our ability to develop educational resources for our undergraduate Brothers as well as subsidize their attendance at educational events.  Check out the impact you can have by giving to The Deke Foundation.

Thank You Donors!

The Impact Is Real!

We measure our success in actual lives changed. These stories are a testament to the difference that Delta Kappa Epsilon can make when we come together to create lasting change in our members' lives. None of this would be possible without the support of Alumni, active parents, and generous donors. THANK YOU!

Emerging Leaders Institute

2023 marked the inaugural year of The Emerging Leaders Institute, more commonly known as ELI. ELI was designed specifically for younger members of the fraternity seeking an opportunity to enhance their leadership skills before stepping into an executive role within their chapter. The inaugural event was hosted in Panama City Beach, Florida. For the inaugural event, 31 Brothers were awarded scholarships. In addition, 100% of attendees received travel subsidies, thanks to generous donations from alumni!

Chapter Officer's Academy

The Chapter Officer’s Academy, better known as COA, has been hosted every January since 2017. COA is typically hosted in Washington, DC. It provides a unique experience for incoming Chapter Officers. The event allows incoming executive officers from across North America to learn about their positions and share experiences. Formerly known as Brother Beta Academy, COA underwent a transformation after DKE expanded its curriculum offerings in 2019 to include more officers, thanks to donations from alumni. Last year, DKE achieved a record attendance of 88 chapter officers and proudly awarded 17 scholarships, all made possible by generous alumni donations!

Convention 2022

Delta Kappa Epsilon’s 178th Convention was hosted in June 2022 in Charlotte, North Carolina, marking our first international event after the lifting of Covid-19 restrictions. This became Deke’s most well-attended event in over a decade, drawing over 108 members, including 50 alumni Brothers. Notably, one chapter sent 11 delegates, and although we are unsure if this is a record, nobody on staff can recall a chapter sending more delegates. Undergraduate Brothers delved into various topics, including housing management, recruitment, problem-solving, and personal finances. A total of 28 Brothers received full or partial scholarships to attend the event. Remarkably, one alumnus donated to cover the attendance of 8 Brothers. None of this would have been possible without the generous donations from alumni!
