The end of an era...
Our time at the now legendary 470 Warsaw DKE House is at its end. It will truly be missed, by all the Dekes and many more. The memories created there will not be forgotten, but will live on in infamy, wherever Alpha Tau settles next.
Many Dekes from different generations have said that when they came to 470 there was next to nothing except the will to succeed and prosper which lives in the heart of every brother in Delta Kappa Epsilon. However this is not to say that there were not contributions along the way. 470 has endured some major setbacks, and managed to make it this far, and after spending a day collecting memorabilia and records from the house, these contributions become more evident than ever.
Over two decades have passed since Alpha Tau adopted 470 Warsaw as their new chapter house, and the efforts undertaken in this tumultuous period of Alpha Tau should inspire us now. We enter into a similar period now, which should be regarded less as an ending and more as a chance for starting anew.
Twenty years ago, the active and alumni of Alpha Tau sought to solidfy the chapter for years to come, and recapping the twenty years since - it is to say the very least that they succeeded. We, as Alpha Tau Dekes - active and alumni, have a responsibility to the memory of those who have gone before us, to the efforts made by Dekes in past years, to the one hundred and sixty two years of brotherhood, we have a responsibility to succeed as Alpha Tau did twenty years ago.
Price J Montague, Stewart Martin, John Tryon, the list goes on. Hundreds of men have passed through Alpha Tau's active ranks and become the alumni we look to for guidance and wisdom. These men have contributed to the fraternity selflessly, and it would be a shame to regard this period upon which we now enter as anything but the greatest of opportunities. We have the opportunity to create, to build the foundation for another twenty years of Alpha Tau, for another forty, another one hundred and sixty two.
When I observe the active chapter and alumni of Alpha Tau I can see that we are more than capable of achieving everything we've dreamed of. We've accomplished more than anyone could have predicted at the outset. More than anything, taking one last look over my shoulder into history before focusing on the road ahead, I can only say that I am incredibly proud of everyone active and alumni, and am honoured to call you my brothers.
Friends from the heart forever,
