Since our founding in 1946, our members have always highly valued the many things that make us different from our brothers. We have a fancy name for that — diversity. Because of this, new members to the Drake Fraternity are not expected to fit some predetermined image or pursue the same activities as Actives. New members are not under pressure to give up anything — whether their defining personal views or existing loyal friends — in order to become a member. But they must wholeheartedly dedicate themselves at all times to the high ideals to which we all strive as Drakes! Our colors are Kelly Green and Gold.   Our mission statement is “The DRAKE Fraternity promotes social brotherhood, academic excellence, athletic achievement, and the pursuit of gentlemanly ideals.”
