A Deke's mission is to improve his character through his own initiative and the strength of the DKE brotherhood. A Deke knows that our brotherhood is a source of love, strength, and power. He strives for excellence in everything he does individually and with the fraternity. A Deke is his brother's keeper and holds his brother accountable for his actions, while respecting his brother's individuality.

In practice, the Dekes at Epsilon Rho develop character and brotherhood in the following ways:

  • We represent and preserve Delta Kappa Epsilon at Duke University.
  • We organize regular gatherings of brothers.
  • We encourage creative social interaction.
  • We serve our larger community because we recognize our good fortune.
  • We provide forums for intellectual and cultural exchange in order to act with a deeper understanding of ourselves and our world.
  • We seek challenging activities to promote our growth as scholars, citizens and gentlemen.

The Dekes at Epsilon Rho recognize the importance of a mission, but we understand that progress is only made through action.

 

The Objects of Delta Kappa Epsilon are the Cultivation of General Literature and Social Culture, the Advancement and Encouragement of Intellectual Excellence, the Promotion of Honorable Friendship and Useful Citizenship, the Developmen of a Spirit of Tolerance and Respect for the Rights and Views of Others, the Maintenance of Gentlemanly Dignity, Self-Respect, and Morality in All Circumstances, and the Union of Stout Hearts and Kindred Interests to Secure to Merit its Due Reward.
