What is Kappa Delta Pi?

Kappa Delta Pi (KDP) was founded in 1911 to foster excellence in education and promote fellowship among those dedicated to teaching. For over a century, the Society has consistently grown, starting with a single, local chapter to become the international organization it is today, with an initiated membership that exceeds 1.2 million educators!
