dke nationally to soon no longer exist

by: Greek Guru   

DKE may be on its last legs nationally with far more closed than open chapters. Sources say they are in negotiations with Lambda Chi Alpha, and Sigma Phi Epsilon to be absorbed by either of those two much stronger fraternities. DKE being upper middle tier to top tier at UA is about the only chapter of DKE that is not considered bottom tier if not the bottom at all their chapters. If DKE folds which letters would the UA chapter rather replace their letters with when the DKE letters come down?

If most DKE chapters are bottom tier won't they just close them rather than inherit the bad reputation the DKE name brings?.

DKE is like a local fraternity at this point. Irrelevant everywhere else.

DKE is pretty good at LSU

And top 3 at UVA and UNC chapel hill.

I don't see how a merge would work... I mean how would a good chapter like Bama DKE join a lower middle chapter like SigEp?

Actually many fraternities have a history of merging with other fraternities. I don't know if there are recent cases. But you are right DKE is like a local fraternity at UA with only a few chapters that are are in the middle or upper tier most being bottom tier and that is why they will soon no longer exist.

Actually the question should since DKE has so many bottom tier houses and just a handful of middle tier or higher will Sig E or for that matter Lambda Chi who are both among the strongest nationally have a say in accepting the goobers that it seems most DKE members are?.

There are also several national fraternities with the same or few number of active chapters as DKE.

Sig Tau, Acacia, Chi Phi come to mind

And none of those have merged or shut down.

Perhaps they will soon follow in DKE footsteps. I wonder if the UA Sig Ep chapter would have a say if they wanted the current DKE members in their fraternity?. Would they each need to apply are be voted on?

Will you say the same thing as they remove the ΔΚΕ letters from your house and replace with ΣΦΕ?

Why would a real top tier house like Lambda Chi want goobers Lin the DKE house wearing LXA letters?

When either Sig Ep or Lambda Chi absorb DKE, will they then be considered Old Row?

I don't think Lambda Chi or Sig Ep want to be tarnished with the "Old Row" tag which is really just a tag of shame and ridicule.

No question that DKE is not relevant anywhere else. It is a holdover old South kind of frat whose time is passed.

Will the fraternity that takes over make us pledges again?

@Troll, I think reading comprehension is not. your strong suit. I stated "many" not all fraternities. It is many fraternities. I do give you props for making me laugh on what experience I have, but I am not going to defend myself on what real world experience I have. I think many people appreciated my comments and the insight I have at a different level of the Fraternal World.

I also never stated I believed some rumor about DKE, in fact I think it is BS. The whole point of my original comment is what is happening at the national levels across the fraternal world.
