3 Attributes of a DKE

Gentleman, Scholar, Jolly Good Fellow

No man is an Island

No man is an Island

Entirety of Itself

Everyman is a piece of the continent

A part of the main

If a clod be washed by the sea

Europe is the less

As well as if a promontory were

As well as any manor of thy friends

Or of thine own were

Every man's death diminishes me

Because I am involved in mankind

and therefore never sent to know for who the bell tolls

It tolls for thee

Phi Marching Song Verse 1 + Chorus

A band of brothers in DKE.

We march along tonight,

Two by two with

Arms locked firm and tight:

Our leader signals with hat in hand.

As we go marching on,

Singing Delta Kappa Epsilon

CHORUS:

So merrily sing we all to D K E,

The mother of jollity

Whose children are gay and free

We'll sing to Phi And then we'll sing to dear old Delta Kappa Epsilon.

Phi Marching Song Verse 2 + Chorus

The stars are out, the moon is shining

On our jolly crowd,

As arm in arm,

We march and sing aloud.

We'll sing in honor of the tie

That binds our hearts in one,

Dear Old Delta Kappa Epsilon.

CHORUS:

So merrily sing we all to D K E,

The mother of jollity

Whose children are gay and free

We'll sing to Phi And then we'll sing to dear old Delta Kappa Epsilon.

Phi Marching Song Verse 3 + Chorus

The campus windows are lifted high As we go marching by, Bur torches flash In ev'ry lady's eye. Our trembling victims await our call, As we go marching on, Singing Delta Kappa Epsilon.

CHORUS:

So merrily sing we all to D K E,

The mother of jollity

Whose children are gay and free

We'll sing to Phi And then we'll sing to dear old Delta Kappa Epsilon.

Son of a DKE Freshman Verse No Chorus

When I was a freshman,

A freshman, soft and green,

I dreamt of Delta Kappa,

Of college life the queen,

And when upon the woolly goat, They gently mounted me,

I felt with joy I'd reached at last, The Hall of D K E.

Son of a DKE Chorus

I'm the son of a, son of a,

Son of a, son of a, son of a D K E!

I'm the son of a, son of a,

Son of a, son of a, son of a D K E!

Like every college fellow,

I like my whiskey free,

For I'm a rambling rake of a college man, And a son of a D K E.

Son of a DKE Sophomore Verse

When I was a sophomore,

So festive, gay, and free,

I wore with pride the diamond pin Of our jolly fraternity.

I thought I owned the campus, My style was great to see,

And I paralyzed the freshman With my yarns of D K E.

Son of a DKE Junior Verse

A sentimental junior,

I sported a moustache,

Among the innocent maidens,

I cut an awful dash!

I broke a leg on the football field, And I only said, "Oh! Gee!"

For I never swear, I'm a moral man And the son of a D K E.

Son of a DKE Senior Verse

A sentimental junior,

I sported a moustache,

Among the innocent maidens,

I cut an awful dash!

I broke a leg on the football field, And I only said, "Oh! Gee!"

For I never swear, I'm a moral man And the son of a D K E.
