March 8 is Kappa Delta Pi's 100th Anniversary!
In respect of this momentous anniversary, we encourage chapters and their members to reflect on the ideals of KDP and to celebrate the accomplishments of their chapters and our International Society.
How will you celebrate? We have ideas and suggested events to help you plan a memorable Founder's Day. You can see them on the Centennial site's Founder's Day section at
www.kdp.org/100years/foundersday.php.
P.S. On Saturday, March 5, KDP hosts a special Founder's Day Celebration at the site of its founding - University of Illinois. You are invited to be a part of this historical moment for KDP and its members. Please visit the Founder's Day page to learn more about the Centennial Founder's Day Celebration. |

Member Renewals: It's That Time of Year!
Over the next few months, many of your members' KDP memberships will expire. We truly appreciate your assistance in encouraging members to renew. Rather than collecting renewal money and mailing it to us, which causes a delay in processing at Headquarters, please direct members to renew through Headquarters directly by visiting
www.kdp.org/aboutmembership/renewyourmembership.php or by calling 800.284.3167. If you wish, you are welcome to collect local chapter dues on your own. Thank you!
