Sweethearts at Delta Epsilon
At Cleveland State (Delta-Epsilon) our sweethearts are elected by the Membership Quality Board along with the chapter awards (such as Top Athlete, Top Big Brother, etc.) The sweetheart is always a female who has made a _SIGNIFICANT_ contribution to advancing the interests of our chapter and of Tau Kappa Epsilon, and someone that (had they been male) would be proud and honored to call our brother. Every past sweetheart gets the respect of always being sweetheart of the chapter, and is always welcome to all social functions. They are NOT allowed to attend private ceremonies or chapter meetings, however. They do NOT have a vote in any decisions that are made by the chapter, as they are not actually members.
They also have the privilege of being embarrassed by TKE's occasionally and randomly breaking into a rousing rendition of "You've Lost That Loving Feeling" which has somehow (unknown to me as to when) became the ONE song that TKE Delta Epsilon is known for on campus (and has been for at least 5 years - probably many more before that).
