The Chapter Today
The Delta Delta Chapter of Delta Kappa Epsilon has called the University of Chicago home since 1870, carrying forward one of the fraternity’s longest-standing traditions on campus. Our chapter continues that legacy today through our commitment to brotherhood, scholarship, and service, and remains active in community at 6227 S Kimbark Ave, Chicago, IL, 60637
We take pride in DKE’s standing as one of the oldest and most storied fraternities in the country, and we hold our own membership to that same standard. Every brother who joins Delta Delta commits to the same principles of being a gentlemen, scholar, and jolly good fellow that our founders set out to build all those years ago.
