What motivates DKE members to maintain positive relationships?

A commitment to the fraternity's values serves as a strong motivator for DKE members to cultivate and maintain positive relationships. This commitment reflects the core principles of the organization, which emphasize brotherhood, mutual support, integrity, and community service. By adhering to these values, members foster connections that are not only beneficial on a personal level but also contribute to the overall mission and strength of the fraternity. Such relationships are vital in creating a supportive environment where members can grow together, share experiences, and uphold the ideals of Delta Kappa Epsilon.

In contrast, motivations like a thirst for power or a desire for personal gain may lead to relationships that are transactional or self-serving, undermining the fraternity's ethos. Maintaining relationships purely out of a sense of obligation can also result in superficial interactions lacking depth and genuine connection. Choosing to focus on the fraternity’s values ensures that the relationships formed are meaningful, supportive, and enduring.
