A Message from Jim Pierce '78

Dear Brothers:

Last giving year, 78 of our alumni brothers helped us achieve important goals for Lambda DKE. Their names are listed on the Honor Roll of Donors below this letter. With their support, we raised $22,551 with 15% participation from our alumni brothers; 75% of our $30,000 goal. Thank you to those of you who so generously contributed to the Annual Fund.

Brother: I know we can continue to grow this giving year. We need YOUR support.

“Social distancing has shown us how important friendship is—the strong bonds we created as fraternity brothers are coming through now that we’re so isolated. Human contact—family, brotherhood, friends—is vital. My fraternity brothers were the core of many incredible experiences and relationships in college—and that continues to this day.”

This statement from an alumni brother shows how we’re able to find solace in reconnecting with old friends during this challenging season. The giving year began anew on September 1, and as you know our annual fund drives our mission. Your support keeps DKE at Kenyon going strong. Please reaffirm your commitment this year by making your gift today. As a donor, you will:

  • Be listed among contributors on the next Honor Roll;
  • Create opportunities for brothers to connect through our newsletter, The Lambda DKE, and our website at lambdadke.com;
  • Support our alumni volunteers and their efforts to support alumni and the chapter;
  • Help to build the foundation to ensure that Delta Kappa Epsilon at Kenyon College remains strong for generations to come.

And while we know some brothers may be unable to give back monetarily this giving year, we hope every brother will still find ways to validate that our alumni brotherhood is worth preserving by playing an active role. Take a look at the end of this post for ideas on how to get more involved this season.

As an alumnus, you are not just part of our past—you are the future. I think you’ll agree that giving back to Lambda Chapter is one of the best things that you can do! Click here to give today.

Sincerely,

Jim Pierce '78

P.S. Now more than ever I hope you’ll take this opportunity to communicate with your Lambda DKE friends by submitting an Alumni Update. Your news will be published in an upcoming issue of The Lambda DKE!
