You're invited to the best house on campus, the Deke house! Feel free to come by anytime, and we especially encourage you to visit during our Rush events.
September is RUSH month, a month most fraternity men remember as one of the best of their lives. Rush is a series of events including parties, sporting events, and games that allow male students to have an awesome time getting to know the fraternities on campus.

Meeting fraternity members, other rushees, and beautiful women is often part of the Rush experience at UBC.
The goal of Rush is for rushees to get to know the fraternities and the fraternities the rushees. The best way to get to know Delta Kappa Epsilon is by coming out to the Rush events and meeting the members and alumni, but in the meantime we can give you a bit of a background info about our fraternity. |
ΔΚΕ is founded on the core qualities that maintain our brotherhood: “gentleman, scholar, and jolly good fellow.” Each year during Rush, Delta Kappa Epsilon strives to continue maintain these qualities by searching for unique members that will add energy and enthusiasm to our traditions. Since 1844, the Brothers of Delta Kappa Epsilon – also called Dekes – numbering over one hundred thousand have bonded at over seventy chapters on campuses across North America such as Phi at Yale, Delta Phi at Edmonton, and (links to their websites are available on the ΔΚΕ webpage).

Don’t be worried about grades if you are rushing ΔΚΕ; help is available when you have older fraternity brothers who have already taken the courses you are taking. Statistically, Dekes have a higher average GPA than the campus average. |
Our chapter, Phi Alpha, founded on February 26th, 1949, currently consists of forty-eight active Dekes and just shy of one thousand alumni. Our chapter is a mosaic of members from different walks of life and places including active members from Costa Rica, Cyprus, and Gambier Island. Our new house became home to twenty-eight Dekes living in luxury in quad-style apartments on Wesbrook Mall in February 2004. Although we know how to party and have lots of fun, we also excel at academic and athletic endevours.
