The comment period has expired.<> DKE House/Delta Kappa Epsilon 1930 James Gamble Rogers -> Rose Alumni House 1975. RAH. York St. 232 <>
Per wikipedia, the "Phi" chapter was the first DKE chapter, founded in 1844 "in Room 12 of Old South Hall"...I presume they mean the Old Brick Row...South College...later known as Union Hall...Ironic, given Yale's founding DKE members tended to be Southerners. <> I find fraternity history the toughest part of Yale history to pin down. Sigh.
George Huthsteiner is correct again!
