The Objects of Delta Kappa Epsilon are the Cultivation of General Literature
and Social Culture, the Advancement and Encouragement of Intellectual
Excellence, the Promotion of Honorable Friendship and Useful Citizenship,
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.

I wish to welcome you to the website of the Delta Chi Chapter of DKE, an institution on the Cornell Campus since 1870 that has contributed greatly to Cornell University and the community of Ithaca, New York, for over a century and a quarter. The site is maintained by and for the members of the Chapter and its Alumni through the efforts of the Delta Chi Association, Inc., which since 1888 has been the alumni association of DKE at Cornell.

This site offers the Cornell community, the citizens of Ithaca and the public in general an insider's view of our Institution, the values we support, our programs to enhance scholarship and community service, and information on our Chapter Lodge, which is a National, State, and Ithaca Historical Landmark.

For DKE alumni, this site also provides detailed information on events, programs, and access to historical and networking information important in the maintenance of the "bonds of brotherhood."

Throughout, we invite comments and input to make this site a dynamic communications tool to help keep DKE strong and relevant to the lives of its many brothers, alumni and constituents.

And we extend our welcome to have you visit our Historic Lodge and learn from our brothers about the Cornell Deke alumni who have made significant contributions to our University, our City, and our Nation.

Sincerely,



Donald Alford Weadon Jr. ’67
Alumni Chairman and President
The Delta Chi Association, Inc.
