Founded in 1911, Kappa Delta Pi is a dynamic learning community that recognizes and enhances growth in scholars and leaders. Chapters of Kappa Delta Pi, International Honor Society, represent the core of the Society through which members can readily connect with other members. For many educators, the university or college chapter is their first experience with Kappa Delta Pi. Dynamic chapters lead to a vibrant and strong Society.

Through national programs and expectations set forth by KDP, chapters develop opportunities for recognition, service, and leadership for their active members who are committed to advancing excellence in education. By being involved in their local chapter, members gain professional development experiences, leadership skills, service and networking opportunities, as well as resources and support to assist them as they step into their careers.

Chapters are affiliates of the Society. Individuals within affiliate chapters hold membership in the Society as well as their chapter or group. Accredited colleges and universities may become involved with KDP in two ways: by establishing a formal chapter or serving as a liaison. Both options bring distinction and recognition to the participating campus. Additionally practicing educators may join KDP and connect with other members in a Professional Chapter through their city, building, or school district.
