More Essential Investments Are Being Made to Maintain and Preserve the DKE Lodge
DKE continues to make important investments to the chapter lodge that will help our grey stone castle remain an enviable and enjoyable residence for undergraduate students in the years to come. These investments include:
- The installation of a number of vertical support beams in the basement underneath the archway to provide additional structural integrity that will allow cars to continue to access the inner courtyard from the main parking lot.
- Signing a contract to bring significantly more electricity to the house in the summer of 2025. This will include full replacement of the main electrical distribution panel and sub-panels throughout the house.
- Improvements to the protective casings around the stained-glass windows in our main staircase. Our hope is that these casings will help preserve these historic windows for many more years into the future.
- Continuing to replace aging light fixtures, furniture, and appliances as necessary to make the chapter lodge a welcome and comfortable place for our members to live.
Alumni Involvement
The Delta Chi chapter of Delta Kappa Epsilon has remained an important and historic institution on the Cornell campus for over 150 years because of the dedication of hundreds of DKE brothers that remain engaged long after they complete their university education. DKE alumni attend summer reunions, participate in philanthropical events, provide professional networking and career guidance to recent graduates, and volunteer for house improvement projects. Alumni also contribute financially to the maintenance and upkeep of our historic Grey Stone Mansion through donations to Cornell University’s DKE Group Housing Fund and the alumni managed Delta Chi Association (501c3).
