Recruitment & Initiation
The initiation is the cornerstone of the Kappa Delta Pi membership experience. This ceremony is the method by which our chapters honor the academic achievements of new initiates, and it also serves to educate the newest members about the rich legacy and ideals of KDP. To remain in good standing with the Society, chapters must conduct at least one initiation during the academic year. We also encourage chapters to hold several ceremonies (formal or informal) to induct members throughout the year to induct members as they become eligible. These tools will provide your chapter the resources needed to effectively recruit new members and plan a meaningful initiation ceremony.
