“Membership in Kappa Delta Pi means that I am a part of the larger community of educational professionals who are seeking to move the field forward toward the best possible tomorrow we can offer our students. Membership also means recognition of my scholastic and professional efforts and support in setting and achieving new goals for me and those around me. To be a member of Kappa Delta Pi means that I have pride as a student, as a professional, and as a person and that I use my talents to better the world.”–Daniel Dalton, student, Purdue University

“KDP is an organization that will grow with you as your career grows. Each year since I’ve joined, KDP has assisted me in my personal and professional growth in education. Educators everywhere encounter similar problems. Instead of reinventing the wheel, KDP gives teachers and administrators alike a venue in which we can share ideas and work through our common issues with continued support.” –Tyrone Parker, social studies teacher, Brooklyn, NY
