Delta Kappa Epsilon and Popes Society Oxford form Transatlantic Reciprocity
Relationship
Grosse Pointe Farms, MI, Greyfriars Hall, Oxford University UK, January 4,
2000: David K. Easlick, Jr., Executive Director of Delta Kappa Epsilon
Fraternity, and John E. James, The Warden, Popes Society Oxford are pleased
to announce an exciting new reciprocal relationship between their two
organizations.
Delta Kappa Epsilon Fraternity is a traditional fraternal organization
founded at Yale University in 1844. It has chapters at some 60 colleges and
universities across the United States and Canada. Its distinguished alumni
include four United States Presidents, George W. Bush, the current Republican
Presidential Frontrunner, governors, legislators, statesmen, corporate
leaders and scholars. Fraternities, in general, have tended to be a
particularly North American phenomenon and despite significant alumni
presence in Britain, strong linkages to the Old World have not developed and
efforts to start chapters in England have not been productive.
Popes Society - customarily known as Popes - is a member only Dining Society
set in Oxford University, with a history dating back to the turn of the last
century. Its membership is made up of certain chosen persons that have at one
point or another been matriculated into the University of Oxford, or have
been elected at the discretion of the main committee, the Curia. Regardless,
membership is for life, and Popes members span all walks of life. Though
Fraternities as such do not exist in the United Kingdom, the nearest
alternative in Oxford are its dining societies, that espouse a common
alliance among members, of which, Popes is one of the most successful in
growth and circulation. Popes seeks the opportunity to have a close point of
contact with an organisation within the United States that shares similar
values and would be able to share ideas and thoughts.
The two societies have an invaluable opportunity in forming an international
relationship that will benefit both sides of the Atlantic. Both societies are
suited in that they hold traditional fraternal values, and arise from older
establishment.
For Popes:
The opportunity to have a close point of contact with an organization in the
United States that shares similar values and would be able to share ideas and
thoughts; host or help members in visits to member campuses in the US;simply
provide a reliable source of information within the US on home affairs;
provide an entry point as a reciprocal member to any of the Popes members who
decide to undergo further study within the US.
For DKE:
The opportunity to have a close point of contact with an organization in the
United Kingdom, though at present in Oxford, that shares similar values and
would be able to share ideas and thoughts; host or help members in visits to
Oxford; simply provide a reliable source of information within the UK on home
affairs; provide an entry point as a reciprocal or honorary member to any of
the DKE members that decide to undergo further study within the UK.
For Both:
The provisions of open reciprocal invitations to both societies functions and
events when possible for a member to attend and the constant point of contact
and communication on society business.
