WHO WE ARE


The Deke Foundation was founded on June 16th, 1986 to support Delta Kappa Epsilon. The non-profit organization strives to provide for the educational needs of our fraternity, supporting DKE Chapters across America and the world! Alumni play a huge role in this endeavor, donating their funds, time, stock, and support. We hope you'll consider giving in whatever capacity you are able. Together... we will build the next generation of outstanding gentlemen, scholars, and jolly good fellows!


Board OF

Trustees
