F
or more than 175 years, an important part of The
University of Alabama has been the exceptional group
of men brought together by fate and bound together by
brotherhood. From our original founding in 1847 as the first
fraternity chartered at Alabama, more than 1,500 brothers
have enriched our history. Our Fraternity has influenced the
lives of numerous men and cultivated lasting friendships
and experiences. As alumni, we can trace many of our best
memories back to Alabama and our Fraternity experience.
Delta Kappa Epsilon plays a significant role in the personal
and professional development of its members. Our
alumni have distinguished themselves as leaders in their
professions and communities. Much of this success is due
to the lessons we learned outside the classroom in fraternity
meetings and activities. The early training we received at
DKE, including leadership skills, organizational skills,
social skills, teamwork, and character—only the beginning
of a long list of traits gained through our fraternity—has
made us the men we are today.
While there may be some differences in today's chapter
compared to the one you knew, there is an unbroken chain
of DKEs, and it's our responsibility to take that history and
what we've learned and look to our future.
In 2007, our brothers accepted the challenge of building
a new home for Psi. We were the beginning of a housing
revolution in Tuscaloosa. Fifteen years later, the growth
of our chapter has presented the House Corporation with
a need that we must address again. The following pages
detail the steps needed to renovate and expand our chapter
house at Alabama. Our chapter's past is secure and our
present is thriving, but our future depends on our vigilance
in supporting this effort.
"I cannot express
enough how much
Psi Chapter has
meant to me
throughout my
college career,
including the relationships
I've formed and experiences I've shared
with such an outstanding group of
individuals from all over the country.
I especially value the longstanding
traditions and values that we hold here
at the DKE house, and I believe that
the current members in this house will
do nothing but continue to uphold these
high standards." –Tim Favrot '24
