They are given, displayed, and kept.
Within Delta Kappa Epsilon, a paddle represents acknowledgment—of connection, of guidance, of place within the fraternity. It is meant to be seen, but not explained.
Crafted with Intention
Delta Kappa Epsilon paddles are designed for display in personal spaces: dorm rooms, apartments, offices, or wherever affiliation is kept close. Each piece is shaped, finished, and engraved with care, favoring clarity over ornament.
Customization options allow for names, chapter identifiers, and dates to be added in a balanced, deliberate layout. The result is not decoration, but record.
Given Once. Kept Always.
Paddles are most often selected by parents, families, and fraternity members marking significant moments—initiation, big/little relationships, or milestones that deserve permanence.
Once personalized, a paddle becomes singular. It does not rotate out. It remains where it is placed.
