Spring 2025 was an amazing time for our fraternity. We faced challenges beyond our control, and overcame them all, while continuing to further our brotherhood and friendships. I am excited about the future as we successfully welcomed 25 new members from our 2025 pledge class.<\/p>\n<p>The successful recruitment effort this year builds on a strong pledge class in 2024 when we welcomed 27 new brothers to Delta Kappa Epsilon. This group has contributed to the house in significant ways. The class included athletes on both the squash and lacrosse teams, transfer students who stepped into their role as older members of the house gracefully, and some of the finest young men I\u2019ve met on Grounds during my time here.<\/p>\n<p>We continued to excel academically, athletically, and socially throughout this past spring. In addition to our important contributions to the Varsity lacrosse and squash teams, our philanthropic events at the ETA house remain annual highlights. We partnered with the Waterboy Foundation for \u201cDunk a DKE\u201d last fall, and \u201cDKE Beach\u201d continues to be a crowd favorite for the Norma Livingston Foundation.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, we are all blessed to spend time together as members of this house and continue to thrive among the greater University community. I look forward to a successful end to 2025 and am grateful for the continued support from our alumni.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you,<br \/>\nPryor Sullivan<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was a privilege and honor to serve as DKE\u2019s president this past semester, and I look forward to another great semester ahead.
