Kappa Omicron Tau

The National Sorority of Phi Delta Kappa, Inc. has always had as a major of concern the guidance of youth. At the Conclave in Indianapolis, Indiana, 1941, the idea of Junior Teachers Clubs was discussed, and in 1942, under the leadership of Soror Gertrude A. Robinson, the plan for Junior Teachers Guidance Clubs was adopted. Soror Gertrude Robinson also conceived college Guidance Groups.

The Junior Teachers Clubs and College Guidance Groups may be considered as forerunners of the National Sorority of Phi Delta Kappa, Inc. Kappa Omicron Tau Division. Gamma Beta Chapter of Kansas City, Kansas, sponsored the first group of KOT.

Soror Annabelle Scarbrough, Alpha Lambda Chapter, initiated standardized procedures of organizing KOT groups, designed a pin, membership card, and certificate of membership.

It was Soror Annabelle Scarbrough who sought to make the National Sorority of Phi Delta Kappa, Inc. Kappa Omicron Tau Division as highly visible on college campuses as other Greek letter organizations.
