I found a good bit of history on the DKE's at LSU. Here is a brief history, taken from the Official Delta Kappa Epsilon website on the Zeta Zeta Chapter, Located here. Chartered January 30, 1858 at Centenary College of Louisiana, Jackson, Louisiana as the second fraternity there. Inactive from April 7, 1861 to April 7, 1923 when it was revived at Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The Friars Club, a local society, petitioned 14 years for the revival, and members of Zeta Zeta, in testament of this continuing endeavor, are permitted to wear the Friars' pin in addition to the standard DKE badge. On the house itself, all I could find, is there were plans drawn for the house in 1924. This chapter also has a website, listed here
