Whether you are a prospective advisor to a collegiate chapter,
a candidate for membership, a parent, or just curious about who we
are and what we do, we’re glad you stopped by.
Founded in 1911 at the University of Illinois,
Kappa Delta Pi was established to foster excellence in education
and promote fellowship among those dedicated to teaching. Pioneering
from its beginning by including women as well as men, Kappa Delta
Pi grew from a local chapter to the international organization
it is today.
Today Kappa Delta Pi is the only education honor society that represents
all facets of the education profession for undergraduates, graduate/doctoral
students, K–12 teachers, administrators, university faculty, and retirees.
There are now chapters at 582 North American colleges and universities,
active professional/alumni chapters in 12 states, and a total active
membership of more than 45,000. We will be celebrating 100 years of
excellence in education in 2011.
Be sure to take a look at About
KDP, which will give you an overview
of our 100-year history and a glimpse into what kind of educators make
up the Society, and review
the benefits of membership.
Then, at your leisure, take a look around the site at all the other
interesting events and activities of our international organization
and our chapters. |
