Delta Kappa Epsilon at University of Mississippi

The Chi chapter of Delta Kappa Epsilon at the University of Mississippi was first established on April 14, 1850. The Chi chapter was the first fraternity founded at Ole Miss. We strive for great success based on our three core values: Gentleman, Scholars, and Jolly Good Fellows. 


The Objects of DKE

The cultivation of general literature and social culture,

the development 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.
