EA good college education undoubtedly entails more thanjust academics. Although studying is necessary at MIT, itneed not become a preoccupation. Dekes enjoy an exten-sive social life without neglecting their educational priori-ties. At DKE, we have numerous large theme parties and aweekly pub night. There are a variety of formal and semi-formal dinners so that brothers can entertain dates at thehouse. We frequently get house tickets and also go toKillington for an annual ski trip. And of course, we fillour schedule with sorority mixers and informal parties ona weekly basis.

We field teams inevery sport available, from ice hockey, soccer, andfootball to softball, rugby, and tennis. We oftenhave two teams in each sport for different skilllevels, so that brothers can participate both casu-ally and competitively.

Dekes succeed. Although we like to have fun, academics are a pri-ority. As a member of DKE, men inherit a heritage of distinguishedpredecessors unmatched in the fraternity world. Over 50 Dekeshave served in the Senate, over 140 have served in the House ofRepresentatives, and 50 have served as state governors. In addi-tion, the U.S. has been represented to 36 countries by ambassadorswho are Dekes. Dekes also built the first fraternity house in NorthAmerica, were the first to reach the North Pole with Robert Peary,and have brought the DKE flag to the moon with Alan Bean.

MIT Dekes are equally impressive. Many brothers are in five-yearMasters degree and MIT co-op programs. Members graduate tocareers at Goldman Sachs, Bose, Qualcomm, BMW, Microsoft, Intel,and Teradyne, and top quality graduate schools such as HarvardBusiness School, Yale, Georgia Tech, and Washington University.

In his free time, Chip wardsoff the scores of ladies from Simmons and Wellesley to drinkand hang out with his friends and long-time girlfriend. This year,Chip is hanging around the Boston area doing consulting workwith Trinity Partners.

A three sport athlete in highschool, Jerimy continues his athletic aspirations as a linebackerfor the MIT Varsity Football team and as a guard on the DKEIM basketball team. He can often be found working on his gamein the back lot or on his numerous wily schemes. Jerimy partieshard and works hard; but knowing of his 4.6 GPA, we’re confi-dent he’ll go far in his Computer Science studies.

Geoff CooneyCLASS OF 2003Geoff, a local to Medford, NJ, is one of the most humorousbrothers at DKE. His crazy stories and misadventures bring alaugh to everyone. Geoff has an amiable character, but when itcomes to IM soccer and ultimate, he is an animal. Back inMedford, he led his high school frisbee team, and he continuesto do so with the MIT Ultimate team.

FROM THE BROTHERS OF THESIGMA TAU CHAPTER OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON

We urge you to participate in Rush. We are very proud of the MIT fraternitysystem. We are also very proud of the Sigma Tau Chapter of Delta Kappa Epsilonand we would like to show you why we think it is the best. The decision to pledgea fraternity will benefit you for the rest of your life.

The DKE house does not feel or look like any other house or MIT dorm. Weenjoy the character of our house with its distinguished wood and brass architec-ture. Our rooms are spacious and we never crowd many brothers into one room.All rooms are singles or two-room doubles and triples. Because we own our houseentirely, we have the flexibility to change, set up, and personalize our rooms in anyway imaginable. Our house has the largest roof deck which is ideal for parties,hanging out and talking, or impressing women. Our fifth floor balcony that spansthe entire riverfront side of our house is impressive as well.

Regardless of how close our house is to MIT, it is still a place to relax andescape from the stress of everyday Institute life. We are glad that the unique com-fort of our home is only a five minute walk from classes and is also directly adja-cent to all of MIT’s athletic facilities. We are able to retreat to our home to catch upon sleep, finish last minute work, or do errands between our classes, sports, andmeetings. We are also able to avoid the high priced and less than tasty food servedin MIT cafeterias by being able to come home for lunch (prepared 3 different timesper day to fit into any of our busy schedules) by our excellent chef. His food issome of the best food we have ever tasted. Furthermore, after a grueling sportspractice, your tired body is as close as possible to you own home, shower, and bed.

All of the benefits and accommodations mentioned in this book are includedin our house bill and thus we have much more to offer at a lower price than MIT’sdormitory room and board. We take the responsibility of running our house our-selves and managing all chapter affairs. Regular house meetings are held to makeimportant decisions, and freshmen rapidly learn how to contribute to the house byassisting house officers in performing their duties.

Our pledge training program is designed to familiarize freshmen with whatthey need to know about MIT, Boston, and Delta Kappa Epsilon. Each freshmanchooses a big brother who closely helps him adjust to college life. Freshmen takepart in all house matters and in a short time become and integral part of the DKEhouse.

Please feel free to contact us or stop by anytime. Give us a call for informa-tion on brothers located near you and on summertime rush events in your area.

We’ll see you during RUSH.
