A fraternity is a brotherhood that provides opportunities for leadership, academic success, philanthropy, and lifelong friendships. At Ole Miss, fraternities help students make the most of their college experience while building connections that last far beyond graduation.
Joining a Fraternity can in fact improve your son’s academics! The University of Mississippi IFC community proudly boats a 3.02 cumulative GPA across it's 17 active chapters compared to a 2.89 GPA for males not involved in greek life. It is up to your son to make use of the many scholastic resources available to him upon joining. We at DKE International, on the other hand, will work hard to ensure he is being made aware of them.
Yes! Members recognized on the dean's and chancellor's lists who achieve over a 3.5 GPA are invited to our scholarship dinner at the start of every semester to reward them for their hard work.
Like any worthwhile investment, fraternity membership requires time and commitment. Beyond weekly chapter meetings, members often choose to become involved in leadership, philanthropy, and campus activities. DKE helps students develop valuable time-management skills while balancing academics, work, extracurricular involvement, and social life.
Membership in Delta Kappa Epsilon is a privilege and every man who has or will take the oath of membership is bound by our code of conduct, part of which includes a strict ban against hazing. Hazing is illegal and Delta Kappa Epsilon has an absolute zero-tolerance policy on it. The Fraternity takes any actions that put any member or any pledge in danger extremely seriously. DKE International has been working hard to drastically decrease the number of these incidents to ensure that our undergraduates have a positive experience as a Deke.
No, members are not required to live in the house. However, it is likely that your son would like to live in the house to take advantage of the opportunities that being in close proximity to the house presents. Local chapter presidents are more than happy to give parents tours of the house to dispel any myths (he will do laundry somewhere!) that they may have. We encourage you to talk to the current active members that live in the house to really see life will be like for your son if he moves in. Many Dekes look back on their years as ex-tenants of the DKE house and regard those as some of the best years of their lives.
