dke nationally will soon shut down.

by:    

DKE with more closed chapters than open chapters is on life support. Sources say they will soon be absorbed into either Lambda Chi Alpha or Sigma Phi Epsilon. DKE nationally only has a few chapters that are considered middle to top tier and the DKE chapter of UNC is one of them the rest are mostly bottom tier. I am wondering what the DKE membership thinks?. Would you rather see the DKE sign replaces with ΛΧΑ or ΣΦΕ?

DKE is traditional and conservative. SigEp is...

That is precisely why DKE is falling and will soon close, just like other businesses in trouble they did not keep up with the times and tried to rely on their past , just like the DKE chapter here. On the other hand Sig Ep and Lambda Chi are the fastest growing fraternities and growing even more rapidly even though they both sit among the top in membership nationally.

"Fraternity Managing Director Kyle F. Sutton presented on SigEp’s 2015-2016 performance toward the strategic plan’s growth and member development objectives. Sutton underscored the impact of the organization’s Balanced Man Program (BMP) alignment efforts, specifically the decrease in new member recruitment and total membership relative to the previous year."

Don't feed the troll. There is nothing to substantiate this...it's designed to start some kind of debate on here which is ridiculous. If you want to start drama, get a little more creative than THIS - Good Lord!

DKE seems pretty happy where they are, with quality chapters at good schools (even when the school doesn't recognize their right to exist).

It's more than a rumor. I hear DKE in its present form will not exist by probably next year. DKE has more closed chapters than open ones and within the open ones there are only a handful considered middle tier or higher. The vast majority are considered bottom tier. I don't know why any strong national fraternity like Sig Ep or Lambda Chi would want to touch the stench that DKE has become. Perhaps they can just switch over the middle tier DKE and above and close the chapters where there is already a ΛΧΑ or ΣΦΕ? Chapters of DKE that do not have a ΛΧΑ or ΣΦΕ chapter might be able to be salvaged. I just hope either ΛΧΑ or ΣΦΕ chapters will have a say in whether to invite DKE members into their brotherhood.

We have heard the same rumors from nationals. I hope we will have a say and can have a vote on each DKE member if we merge. I know over 1/2 of DKE's rushed Sig Ep but we didn't give those goobers a bid for a reason.

Ahhhhh........now I get it. As if Sig Ep would have a chance with anything on this campus after Chandler Kania ruined their rep for good.

If you believe Cancer's attorney, he was a great Christian kid before SigEp dragged him into selfishness and sin.

When we merge will we throw away our DKE letter clothing?

I am not a DKE, LXA or Sig Ep but I have heard this from nationals. DKE has been working on a merger for over a year, our fraternity was contacted and I don't know if we rebuffed them because of all the lawsuits or if LXA and Sig Ep are the last two interested.

DKE is not the only one that will merge or just fold up nationally within the decade. Expect to see Acacia, Chi Pi and another dozen or so merge or just cease to exist within the decade.

Not sure Sigep will even be around to merge with.

Sig Ep is strong nationally and along with Lambda Chi among the fastest growing. DKE is not the only fraternity that will soon not exsist, Kappa Alpha Order and Chi Phi are actively seeking to be absorbed by stronger national fraternities.

Why do you even care? I care about my experience at UNC and DKE is awesome, but Lambda Chi and SigEp suck. National reputations only matter if you want to get involved as an alumni....which I don't. It's just a way for loser frats to try to get validation. But at UNC.... now......DKE is one of the big four and has been for years.
