What Is KDP?
Kappa Delta Pi is the largest and most prestigious honor society in education. It is unique in that it includes both college education majors and practicing educators. Founded in 1918 at the University of Illinois, KDP now includes over 550 chapters in the United States and eight foreign nations. The LCSC Chi Kappa Chapter was installed in 1996, the last chapter to complete KDP membership in all fifty states. Associate membership is open to all individuals who are regularly recognized and rewarded for their leadership and participation in the chapter. When members with at least twelve hours of education course work completed attain a 3.75 GPA, they are honored with full national membership and are eligible to serve as chapter officers. Semester dues are $5.00. In addition to all the local chapter activities, there are regional and national meetings, special programs, and undergraduate and graduate scholarships for members. For information about meetings and activities, see the Education Division bulletin board or visit this web site. Enrich your college experience through active participation in Kappa Delta Pi.
