Dear Brothers in ΔKE:

I’m pleased to present our third issue of the ΔKE Quarterly. It’s a sign of our continuing effort to communicate with all our Brothers, and it’s an important part of our Revival. We have received enthusiastic response from Dekes everywhere after they see the Quarterly, and we will keep producing it four times a year. Please send us stories or story ideas, such as chapter histories, profi les of specifi c alumni, undergraduate accomplishments or interesting stories, news on your chapter, or anything of general interest to Dekes.

ΔKE’s Revival is progressing on all fronts. From a business perspective, all the key metrics are up. And we have seen plenty of progress from many chapters this year. Among our alumni, there is a renewed spirit of enthusiasm and involvement.

We have had help from many different ΔKE constituencies to help keep our turnaround efforts on track, so I fi gured I would mention just a few. The ΔKE Club of New York has been generous in helping ΔKE not only fi nancially, but also with their endorsement and support of our efforts to turn things around. The Deke Club Board, headed by John Mathews (Phi Gamma – Syracuse) has been helpful in every way possible, and Rose-Mary Rudden, the ΔKE Club’s Secretary, is a pleasure to work with. Without the ΔKE Club in our corner, the Fraternity’s recovery would have been a much larger challenge. All of us involved in the management of the business are forever indebted to the ΔKE Club and all its members.

While on the subject, anyone who lives in the New York City area or travels there on business should join the ΔKE Club. The benefi ts are outstanding and the cost is minimal.

Two other organizations I’d like to thank publicly are the alumni associations of our Sigma Tau (MIT) and the Ruby Cup Foundation (Delta Pi/Delta Psi/Psi Phi). Ruby Cup loaned us $8,000 so that we could pay our 3-year old obligations to the North American Interfraternity Conference, and we’re paying them back on a favorable schedule. And ASTA (Sigma Tau) loaned us $10,000, interest-free, to enable us to pay off a creditor, saving us $2,100 in fi nance charges. We thank those two organizations for helping us recover fi nancially. Assistance from all corners of ΔKE has been sincerely appreciated and gratifying.

We have worked on the ΔKE Revival for the last year and a half with an incredibly committed group of Brothers. We must be committed – all of us, all the time. We will come up empty-handed without it. Commitment is different than involvement. You can be involved without being committed. It’s like the big country breakfast you might enjoy from time to time. The chicken is involved, bringing you the eggs. But the bacon? That pig was committed. We must show our commitment in everything we do, every day. Achievements of an organization are the result of the combined efforts of each committed individual.

Best wishes to Dekes of all ages and all chapters. Enjoy this issue of the Quarterly, have a great summer, and please don’t hesitate to call me (864.415.2581) or write ([email protected]) with questions or suggestions.

Chapter News

Phi Rho Celebrates 20 YearsSo far, 2011 has turned out to be a great year for the Phi Rho chapter at Penn State University. The

chapter recently celebrated the 20th anniversary of its founding in 1991. Over 50 alumni made their return to State College, PA for a weekend of festivities and fun, as alumni and undergraduate Dekes observed the chapter’s growing legacy.

The agenda for the weekend included a slew of joviality both in house and out, as well as a State of the Chapter Address by chapter president Adam Brous. Brother Brous spoke of the recent growth of the chapter in terms of membership and presence on campus, and summarized the chapter’s newly accomplished plan. The chapter procured a 15,000 square foot house in the middle of the Penn State fraternity scene and plans to make the move in the fall of 2011.

The new house will be a large asset in terms of recruitment and reputation for Delta Kappa Epsilon at Penn State. It is a monument to the work done by current undergraduates and the involved alumni of the chapter, and a testament to the foundation they established during their time as undergraduates to build the chapter that exists today.

The most noteworthy story is when the chapter received a very special phone call from fellow Deke, and Penn State Head Football Coach, Joseph Paterno. Mr. Paterno, though unable to fulfi ll his invitation to the 20th anniversary celebrations, congratulated the chapter on all of its success and wished them the best in years to come.

On April 27th, 2011, a devastating tornado ripped through Tuscaloosa, Alabama, home to our Psi Chapter. Fortunately the campus and our chapter were spared from any damage, and all Dekes made it through the storm safely.

The city of Tuscaloosa sustained an incredible amount of damage during the tornado, killing scores of residents and demolishing huge swaths of the downtown area. The destruction left a wake of human suffering that will resonate in that city for years to come.

But what happened next is an incredible story about a determined group of Dekes, who banded together to make a major contribution to the relief efforts in Tuscaloosa over the next two weeks.

As with all major disasters, a relief effort quickly sprung up around the city, involving agencies of the local, state, and federal

governments, churches, and many other private and public relief organizations. This relief effort, however, was assisted in a big way by a completely unexpected source -- the Greek community at the University of Alabama, created and led by the Psi Chapter of ∆KE.

The University decided to close the school about 10 days earlier than planned this year, canceling final exams, and sending students home for the summer, while the city dug out from the devastation. A few of the chapter leaders realized that by leaving school early, they would be wasting over a week’s worth of food that was in their pantry and refrigerators. In a flash of inspiration, they wondered if they could simply cook up the remainder of the food that had already been delivered to them, and distribute it to the storm’s victims and relief workers. This was done, and then it quickly dawned on Patrick Morris, Brother Beta, that other fraternities and sororities may have the same situation.

He contacted all the other fraternities, and they eagerly jumped on board.

This combined effort then evolved into a massive relief effort run entirely by college students. It involved a very complicated logistical challenge, involving several fraternities and sororities, with cooking taking place in five fraternity kitchens and on borrowed Weber Grills, meals being prepared at several locations and then brought to one central location for assembly, and then distributed to the community. The Dekes used social networking to great effect, with daily Facebook updates and very frequent tweets on Twitter. At one point during the relief effort, the volunteers were running short of water for delivery to the community, so the Dekes sent out a tweet saying “we need water.” Within 30 minutes, 100 cases of water arrived at the DKE House from other involved campus helpers.

The meal delivery program ran for about 16 days, and thanks to the efforts of Dekes and their friends in other fraternities and sororities, over 52,000 meals were delivered to victims and relief workers. The chapter also collected tons of non-perishable relief items such as clothing, baby supplies, health items, and other essentials for distribution to the victims. The ∆KE house was the collection spot for these items as well.

This effort has now evolved into a fundraising campaign and any Dekes who would like to contribute should go to www.uagreekrelief.com. Contributions are tax deductible.

This was an incredible effort, organized and executed entirely by college students with no professional help. Led by ∆KE, this effort sprung up literally overnight. As volunteers poured in, they reacted to the situation on the ground and shifted their activities as the circumstances required. This is a great example of a determined group of young men and women who wanted to make a difference, and with no regard for red tape or bureaucratic intervention, got the job done the right way, exceeding anyone’s

expectations. The two primary leaders of the effort were Patrick Morris, Psi ‘12, from Birmingham, and James Fowler, Psi ‘11 from Madison, AL. Patrick has been invited to speak to other relief organizations so that they could learn from him, about how the Greek Relief effort was organized so quickly and efficiently, how the logistics were developed, and how they reacted to the shifting conditions on the ground.

Reprinted below is a speech delivered by Patrick to one such group, which summarizes better than we can the heroic effort put forth by our Psi Chapter.

∆KE International Headquarters, and all Dekes, are proud of the men of our Psi Chapter, and we congratulate them for their devotion to the service of those in need.

The following is a speech delivered by the Psi Chapter president, Patrick Morris, Psi ‘12, on May 09, 2011 (pictured above).

When I woke up the morning of April 27, I can honestly say the biggest concern on my mind was the upcoming finals exam week. And to be perfectly honest that was a big deal to me, as a semester of hard work was riding on a week’s worth of exams. Little did I know that evening of the 27th at around 5 pm, my life would change forever. I was sitting at the fraternity house, where I

currently lived and I had planned an executive council meeting of our fraternity officers that I had planned for over a week. I kept telling everyone to sit down at a table and get the meeting over and they insisted that we wait and watch the storm. I agreed assuming all we would see was a bad thunderstorm go by. I kept getting several text messages from my parents and aunts and uncles telling me to take shelter and that a tornado was heading our way. You have to understand though that living in

Alabama my entire life and living through at least 200 or more tornado warnings that have never even gotten close to me, I completely blew off the warning. So my fellow fraternity brothers and I were sitting on the front porch

of our house looking in the direction of where we thought the storm would be coming from, and then all of the sudden I saw it. I felt like I was in a movie. If any of you have seen the movie Twister with Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton I can honestly tell you that what I saw looked exactly like the massive tornadoes in that movie. From our view the twister looked like it was heading right towards us. We all sat in shock for a few seconds and took in what we were seeing which for all of us was the first tornado we had ever seen and then I immediately screamed for everyone to head to the basement. A mass panic broke out as around 30 of us sprinted down the stairs to our basement. While down in the basement the power flickered off and our believed city was plunged into a darkness that included more than just power. After hearing reports of the damage, I

honestly did not think what I was going to see would be that bad. I imagined trees down everywhere but never in my wildest dreams would I imagine what I saw that night after the storm. After we heard about the damage a few of us figured we could help in some way. I figured, “I am a strong young man and if there are people trapped under houses I can help.” So we piled into a few cars and drove as close as we could to the damage. We parked and started walking. As we walked it became quickly clear that I had no idea what I was about to see. Houses looked like they were made of paper, as they were now nothing more than a pile of rubble. Telephone poles were snapped like tooth picks. Trees were everywhere. It looked like a bomb had gone off. As we really got to “Ground Zero” we were approached by a frazzled firefighter who screamed at us to turn back and quote said, “Boys I know you want to help but there is nothing but downed power lines and dead bodies past here.” Hearing this and seeing what I was seeing put me in an almost daze. Walking back to our car with ambulance after ambulance speeding towards the scene really angered me, I thought, “why can I not help”? As we got back to the car we discussed our plan for tomorrow. We were dedicated to help in

some way. We woke up the next day and piled in our

cars and drove around looking for ways to help. The more we saw of Tuscaloosa the more we realized the devastation. After around 2 hours of being turned away by police and firefighters telling us it was unsafe for us to enter we found the neighborhood around Hackberry Drive. We found this old man and his son who were clearing about ten trees from his yard and off their house. We had a few chainsaws so we asked him if we could help. About 10 of us spent the whole day helping out. When we were done I felt good about myself. I was able to help out. So that night we were eating dinner at a local restaurant that was one of the few to still have power when my phone rang and it was our Fraternity House “Dad.” He called to ask me what I thought about cooking all of the left over food we had ordered for the last week and a half of school that was not going to get eaten since school was canceled, and boxing it up and taking it to a shelter. I told him I thought it would be a great idea. That evening I emailed all of the other fraternity and sorority presidents telling them of our

idea and asking them to clean out their freezers and bring them by the ∆KE House in the morning. At this point in the week I figured that would be a good small way for us to help out in the relief effort. The following morning a few sororities and

fraternities dropped their extra food off and with around 20 volunteers of mostly ∆KE brothers we made around 1,500 meals and delivered them to shelters, police officers, and distributed them to the people affected by the storm. We were pleased by the results. We had made a difference. That night a few of the volunteers had stuck

around the ∆KE House and we talked about how we could expand our operation. We immediately thought, if we want to really help we need to expand this operation. First we need a name. That’s when we came up with UA Greek Relief. Then we knew we had to get our name out that we needed more volunteers, more donations, and more food. We created a twitter name and a Facebook group. By the end of the night we had over 300 people in the Facebook group and over

Sorority women and other volunteers at work

200 followers on Twitter. We called Sysco Foods and ordered $10,000 worth of food and just charged it to our fraternity. We mapped out our logistics for our expanded operation. We emailed the entire Greek system and their parents encouraging them to come volunteer and donate. We emailed over 35,000 people that night. We knew we had to utilize the resources we had in the Greek System. We decided we wanted to expand from our

one kitchen at the ∆KE House to 4 kitchens including the ∆KE kitchen, Beta Theta Pi kitchen, Phi Gamma Delta kitchen, and the Sigma Nu kitchens which all are next to each other. We would use the ∆KE House as the headquarters for the operation. All volunteers and donations would arrive at the ∆KE House and be coordinated and dispersed from there. The ∆KE House would also be used as the pantry where all food would be stored until the kitchens were ready for use of it. The Beta House would be used as the packaging headquarters. The food would be cooked in all four kitchens and then walked to the Beta house where assembly lines would package it into to-go boxes and then stacked in bags where from there it would be taken to the transportation area behind the Phi Gam house where volunteers in cars would line up and be loaded with the bags of meals and then sent out to the different areas in need of meals.

The energy in that meeting the night of the 29th was magical. There we were 10 fraternity boys and sorority girls who were thought of as nothing more than spoiled partiers planning out a massive relief effort. Looking back on that meeting, it could be safe to say that we accomplished more in that meeting than any other government relief effort in the entire city. So the following morning we all woke up

expecting to see a little better results. We woke up and had over 1000 followers on twitter, and 500 people in our Facebook group. We coordinated all areas with walkie-talkies and transported food and supplies to all four fraternity houses via golf carts.

The donations began to pour in, and the volunteers increased. By the day’s end we had made over 3500 meals. The following night we had another leadership meeting. We continued to tweak our system to be able to produce more meals faster to meet the demand. We decided to start accepting non-perishable goods including hygiene products, diapers, baby food, and clothing. We also created a way to accept monetary donations to help fund our effort. The next day, to our surprise, more

volunteers arrived and more donations came. The media began to arrive and became our biggest ally. Local media outlets, newspapers, and even NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams arrived. We took advantage of the opportunity to spread our message to allow us to increase our effort. By day’s end we made over 8,000 meals. The city contacted us that night to thank us and inform us that we made over ¼ of the relief meals that day. We weren’t satisfied, we knew there was still a need for hot meals and we would be able to provide them. The following day was our best day of the

week. A massive influx in volunteers allowed us to make over 10,000 meals, which ended up being over 1/3 of the relief meals that day. By the end of our 8-day relief effort to provide

hot meals to the victims and volunteers of the terrible tornado we had provided over 52,000 meals. To put that in perspective we could have fed the entire city populations of Mountain Brook and Vestavia combined. Not only were we able to provide the meals, but also we were able to provide hundreds of thousands of non-perishable donations to families affected by the storm and to the shelters that were providing homes to those who lost their homes in the storm. After doing all of this I really was happy

that we were able to help our city, but I really did not realize what we were doing until I saw the how grateful the people were. Police offers would stop by the ∆KE House on their way home after a 12-hour shift and

thank us for giving them a hot meal to eat so they could continue to work without having to drive to get food. Victims would thank us for giving them the only hot meal they had eaten in days. But it really did not hit me until one night at dinner after a long day of work a volunteer firefighter approached us to ask if we were the UA Greek Relief. We told her we were and she immediately thanked us and told us a story that I will never forget. She was working on a search and rescue team in Alberta City and they were looking for people still alive buried under rubble. They heard a toy making noise under a pile of rubble and they immediately began to try to uncover them. It was a 5-year-old boy and his 3-year-old sister. They had been buried for 4 days and had not eaten since before the tornado. The first meal they received in 4 days was one of our hot meals we made that day. When I heard that story it made all of the sleepless nights of planning and long days in the sun working all worth it. The real question that I ask myself

everyday is what if we had just packed up

our belongings like the rest of the student body did and left town like the University advised us to do. What if we had just said, “this seems like too much work, let’s just go to the beach and relax after a long semester of schoolwork.” But we didn’t. We stepped up to the plate when our city needed us most in our darkest hour. We did the job that FEMA and our government could not organize and do until a week later. How many people would have gone hungry without our meals? How many people would have had to stop their relief efforts to drive and find lunch or dinner? Instead, they would eat one of our meals and then continue to help. The key to our effort was resources and

figuring out how to utilize them. We knew the Greek system could be used for more than just having big parties and acting as social clubs. We used social media to our advantage. We would post to our 1100 members of our Facebook group and to our 3500 followers on Twitter that we had run out of bread and in 20 minutes a truckload of bread showed up. This became our greatest tool. Throughout

the week people monitored us and brought us what we ran out of. The message I want to get out to everyone

here tonight is that no matter how big or small the effort or however big or small you volunteer your time you can make a difference. Our massive effort started out with a few Greeks with an idea and expanded into 400+ volunteers a day that included Greeks, non-Greeks, parents, children, elderly, professors, school administrators, and people from all over the country. We received donations from as far away as Minnesota, California, and New York. People from the entire country united in our effort. I challenge you to continue to help the people of Tuscaloosa because I can assure you it will be years before our city will fully recover. Any relief effort can help, whether it consists of mailing a check or spending your Saturday clearing debris I can assure you it will make a difference. Right now I would just like to ask that we

take a moment of silence for those who lost their lives the day of the storm especially for the two fellow Greek students that we lost the day of the storm.

Thank you and God bless Tuscaloosa.

Others Refl ect on the Impact of UA Greek Relief Effort

The Quarterly spoke with other key figures involved with the relief effort to get their perspective on the impact of the Deke-led project.

BLAKE ASHBEE, Psi ‘01, House Director, Member of Alumni Board

The Psi alumni are very proud of the way the Psi Dekes responded to the tragic situation after the storm on April 27th. With classes canceled, many of the Brothers got together immediately after the storm, and talked about ways they could help in the community. And the idea came up and we realized we had ordered all of this food, why don’t we start up fryers and grills and cook it up and see how we can help. James and Patrick immediately jumped on the idea and realized it was potentially something that others in the Greek community might be interested in doing. So they began to reach out to other friends and got other houses involved. They got some good responses,

and took the ball and ran with it, setting up the systems where each fraternity had a cooking job, using social media to get the word out. We eventually recruited hundreds of volunteers, including representatives from every Greek house on campus.

They also got involved with the city of Tuscaloosa, which was extremely grateful for the help. Tuscaloosa officials realized quickly how important UA Greek Relief was to the overall effort -- in fact about 30% of the meals delivered to victims and relief workers came from Greek Relief. It was extremely successful, and I’m sure the city officials would say that the relief effort would have been far less effective if it were not for the help of the Greek community.

From Dr. Bob Witt, President, University of Alabama

UA Greek Relief is an excellent example of the outstanding community outreach efforts initiated by UA students following the April 27 tornado. Under the leadership of former SGA president James Fowler and with strong financial support from alumni, Delta Kappa Epsilon and our Greek organizations prepared and distributed more than 52,000 hot meals, thousands of canned food items, clothing, medical supplies, baby supplies, clothing and toiletries to the impacted areas. Their compassion and generosity are shining examples of the spirit of The Alabama Family.

From Walt Maddox, Mayor of Tuscaloosa

“One of the remarkable stories that has come out of this event has been the generosity of UA students. Students are giving back to Tuscaloosa in an unprecedented way. I commend the students from the Greek community for not asking why us, but saying what can we do to help.

I can’t tell you how impressed I have been by the UA Greek Relief efforts. The efforts of UA Greek Relief truly made one of the largest impacts in the recovery efforts following the tornado. It was truly heartwarming to see The University of Alabama’s Greek Community giving back in such a large way.”

The Delta Kappa Epsilon Club of New York hosted its 126th Annual Members Meeting and Dinner in April at its clubhouse at 50 Vanderbilt in Manhattan. As tradition dictates, after the business meeting – where board members are elected, the past year’s activities are reviewed and plans for the next year are laid out – the club hosts a complementary prime-rib dinner for those Club members in attendance.

In addition to the conviviality of a “brothers-only” dinner, the evening also features a guest speaker – usually a notable Deke alum. This year, the Club welcomed Harry Hamlin, former President of the Theta Zeta (Berkeley) and star of stage and screen.

In his introduction, Club Vice President Luke Vander Linden, Iota Mu (Fordham) ’97 described how a copy of the cover of Brother Hamlin’s partial auto-biography, Full Frontal Nudity was posted in a display case in the Club’s lobby to promote the dinner but was removed by the Club’s house committee because it was seen as too risqué (judge for yourself at http://books.simonandschuster.com/Full-Frontal-Nudity/). Vander Linden

noted “it’s not the first time our guest speaker has gotten into trouble with school administration.”

Brother Hamlin spoke conversationally about the wacky experiences of his childhood, the twisted path that led to some alleged criminal behavior and the series of fortuitous mishaps that drove him to become an actor.

A highlight was Harry’s recounting of an accidental fire at the ∆KE House and his rebellious response to school administrators who asked that he write letters of apology to California’s Governor, the State University Board and the Chairman of DKE International. Brother Hamlin refused, resulting in his having to leave California and finish his studies at Yale.

However, Harry was finally given the opportunity to make amends as ∆KE Executive Director Doug Lanpher, Gamma (Vanderbilt) ‘77 pointed out that Brother Hamlin had in fact earlier been seated at the same table as the International Chairman at the time of the fire – Charles O. Blaisdell, Pi (Dartmouth) ’37.

Brother Hamlin spent some time mingling with the assembled Club members both prior to and after the dinner.

Earlier in the evening, Club President John B. Mathews Phi Gamma (Syracuse) ’98 presided over the annual meeting which saw the installation of four board members, Clinton W. Blume, III M (Colgate) ’79 and Robert A.N. Cudd Alpha Chi (Trinity) ’68 who were both reelected and Dennis J. Gerber Alpha Mu (Rowan) ’04 and Robert Oros Phi Chi (Rutgers) ‘67. In addition to Brothers Blaisdell, Mathews and Vander Linden they joined existing Board members Cameron M. Jackson and Richard L. West, both Tau Lambda (Tulane) ’90, Joseph P. McMurray Phi Gamma ’65 and Mason W. Morjikian Lambda (Kenyon) ’88.

Sigma Tau Notable Athletes

Patrick Jupe – ESPN Academic All-American / New England Football Conference All-Division Defensive Line

Jupe’s 99 tackles put him second in the NEFC and fi rst among linemen; in addition he posted the fi fth-highest tally in the program’s history. A Mechanical Engineering major, he is a contributor to the MIT Electric Vehicle Team where he helped design and fabricate batteries, charging systems, electric drive-trains, and software for rapid-recharging electric vehicles. The team’s research into rapid recharge systems has attracted attention from BMW, Tesla, Ford, and the U.S. Department of Transportation. In a UROP with the Mechanical and Materials Engineering Departments, Jupe was charged with fi nding commercial and demonstrable ways to use carbon fi ber nano-tubes, which once spun together in a certain way, have extremely high energy-storage spring properties. He focused his research on using the nano-tubes to store energy in order to power wristwatches. A participant in MIT’s D-Lab Development Technology group, Jupe is designing cleaner burning stoves and fuels for third-world and developing countries to help reduce deaths caused by smoke inhalation as a result of cooking fi res.

Ethan Peterson – New England Football Conference All-Division Offensive Line

A valuable anchor of MIT’s offensive line, Peterson helped the Cardinal and Gray rank third in the Boyd Division in sacks against, third in pass offense, and sixth in rush offense. Though he is only a sophomore, he has already established himself as a nightmare for opposing defenses in Division III football. When he is not dominating the trenches, Peterson can be found on the ice rink competing for the MIT Hockey team or in the classroom pursuing his Nuclear Engineering major.

Will Vega-Brown – Academic All-American

As a member of MIT’s offensive line, Vega-Brown helped the Cardinal and Gray rank third in the Boyd Division in sacks against, third in pass offense, and sixth in rush offense. Majoring in Mechanical Engineering and Physics, he is a member of the Tau Beta Pi Engineering Honor Society and the Pi Tau Sigma Mechanical Engineering Honor Society. Vega-Brown was a recipient of an award for outstanding service to the MIT Mechanical Engineering Department and also earned accolades in a robotics class for his work in pathfi nding and mapping. During his internship with Vecna Robotics, he spent a majority of his time working on control software for various robots. Vega-Brown previously held an internship in Professor Anuradha Annaswamy’s mechanical engineering lab, working on adaptive control systems.

“Those old comrades, loved and cherished, Who have passed from our mortal sight, Shall be our life’s guardian angels, Directing our steps aright. Ever sacred be those church-yards, Where our brothers were laid away; And our hearts to these, our Meccas, Shall wander like pilgrims grey.” - from In Memoriam by W. T. Laird

In Memoriam

Duncan AndrewsMay 11, 1935 - March 17, 2011

Duncan Andrews was a bookman, poet, and scholar. He died in Manhattan after a protracted illness at the age of 75. He was a former advertising executive and a past president of Delta Kappa Epsilon Fraternity.

Brother Andrews formed important collections of the manuscripts and writings of Sir John Betjeman; on foxhunting (“Tally Ho! Four Hundred Years of Foxhunting”, exhibited at the Grolier Club in New York City in 1976); and of the English engraver Stephen Gooden (1892-1955), whose biography and catalogue raisonne he wrote. He had a second career as an antiquarian bookseller associated with the firm of James Cummins Bookseller in New York City.

Brother Andrews, Rho ‘57, had served Delta Kappa Epsilon in many capacities: as Board Chairman, Editor of the Quarterly, and Executive Director. Duncan was known to thousands of Dekes for his true Deke spirit and love of the Fraternity (lest we forget his words of wisdom when it comes to being a proper gentleman). He was a familiar face at his beloved go to place, the ∆KE Club.

Brother Andrews was a true literary man, having authored books and articles, and having served in the advertising profession and later as a professional speech-writer. Duncan was working on his first fiction book when he passed away (although he refused to discuss the plot!). He loved the Fraternity and was a wonderful ambassador for ∆KE wherever he went. Duncan was the penultimate embodiment of the phrase “Gentleman, Scholar, and Jolly Good Fellow.” ∆KE mourns the passing of this great Brother.

Philip Kirkpatrick JonesDecember 1920 - February 2011

A lifelong Baton Rouge resident, Philip Kirkpatrick Jones peacefully passed away in his home on Saturday, Feb. 19, 2011, surrounded by his loving family and friends. Born and raised in Baton Rouge, he graduated from University High School in 1937 and went on to receive a B.A. from LSU in 1940. Philip was initiated into Zeta Zeta Chapter of Delta Kappa Epsilon on March 7, 1938, the third of the four Jones brothers to be members of the chapter.

In 1948, Philip obtained a J.D from LSU. From 1942-1946, Philip served in the U.S. Army Air Corps and eventually left the Army as a captain. It was during this time period that Philip met and married the love of his life, Mary Jane Kincade, of Buffalo, N.Y.

He was General Counsel for the Louisiana Department of Highways and its successor, the Department of Transportation and Development from 1964-1983. In this position he was instrumental in the development of the Louisiana Interstate Highway System.

He spearheaded the concept of “pocket parks’. This concept has now been widely adopted and implemented nationwide. Philip received The Charles E. Dunbar Jr. Career Service Award in 1979, the highest award given by the Louisiana Civil Service League.

Philip also served on the board of the directors of Pan Aero Corporation and PAMC Management Corporation, pioneering renewable energy companies.

He was also the author of Out of His Roots,

Page 25: DKE Quarterly Vol. 129 No. 1

Delta Kappa Epsilon Quarterly 23

Beside the Still Waters, and The Sisters Virtuous. To honor his mother, Philip established the Mrs. W. Carruth Jones Foundation for the blind and physically handicapped. This foundation works with the Louisiana State Library to provide services for the blind and hearing impaired such as providing ‘talking books’, special reading programs for children in the summer, and the purchasing of large print/Braille books.

Philip was predeceased by siblings Elizabeth Jones Hill, W. Carruth Jones Jr., ZZ ‘37, John Roger Jones, ZZ ‘39, Dr. George Hilton Jones III, ZZ ‘47, as well as wives Mary Jane Kincade and Alice Bryan Sellis.

Philip was known as a man of great intellect, honesty, compassion and deep love. Described as a ‘generous gentlemen’ he will be dearly missed, but his spirit will live on in all who knew him.

Brian Lo September 13, 1989 - May 6, 2011

Brian “B-Lo” Lo, Delta Chi ‘11, passed away on May 6 in a housing fire. He attended Cornell’s School of Hotel Administration.

A gathering was held at the Delta Chi chapter house, in which members and friends told their stories about Brian, the following are some memories that Dekes related.

“What [Lo] meant to me was an indomitable, infallible, positive spirit. It doesn’t matter how down you’re feeling or how down you are; he’d say it’s okay, you’ll be alright,” said Tom Hudson ’11, a member of ∆KE, Lo’s fraternity. “Especially around a place like Cornell that’s super stressful, he brought so many people up.”

Chazman Childers ’12, president of ∆KE added that Lo “was the guy who was always happy, and his happiness was infectious. He made everyone around him in a much better mood, and he wasn’t afraid to laugh at himself if that would make others happy.”

“B-lo was a hyperbole of positivism. You’d be thinking about him and you’d find yourself smiling,” Alex Lieberman ’12 said. “That’s the number one thing people will remember: his smile, and how he cheerful he was all the time.”

Students recalled Lo’s ever-expanding lexicon, unique idioms only understandable to his friends.

“[Lo] had these catchphrases. He’d say, ‘Cornell guys are easy on the eyes, easier on the heart’ or ‘Do you believe in fairy tales?’ to someone he’d never met,” Childers said.

Amar Modi ’11, Lo’s roommate for two years, said Lo “started this very strange way of talking that everyone in the house has picked up.”

“Instead of ‘that’s very cool,’ [Lo said,] ‘that’s such coolness,’” Modi said. “He loved the word ‘such’ and the way it sounded … At first it made no sense, and then 10 minutes later we’re all saying it.”

“He said ‘such such’ to me once, and I actually knew what he meant,” Lieberman said.

Jaser Faruq ‘12 added that, in the wake of Lo’s death, he would adopt his friend’s habit and try to smile more.

HELP WANTED: ∆KE ALUMNI TO HELP PLAN ALUMNI EVENTS

∆KE Headquarters would like to establish alumni clubs in several cities in 2011, and we are seeking to build a team of volunteers who would help coordinate the events.

Alumni clubs would meet for lunch or an evening reception on a quarterly or semiannual basis… more often if there is interest.

Cities that we are particularly interested in starting for 2011 are:

Boston Toronto Philadelphia Houston Charlotte Los Angeles Atlanta Chicago Washington, D.C. Dallas

∆KE HQ will help with the event planning, providing mail lists and mailing invitations, but we have found that it’s important to have a small group of local alumni who are willing to get things going.

If you live in or near one of the cities mentioned above and would be willing to help out, please contact Doug Lanpher at 847.899.0528 or send an email to [email protected].

Alumni clubs are a great way for Dekes of all chapters to get together and socialize, make new friends, or re-connect with old friends. Local alumni groups are a lot of fun and not that much work to organize, especially if a group of 3-5 men volunteer in each city.
