Basileus Welcome

Hello and welcome to the official website of Alpha Rho Chapter of the National Sorority of Phi Delta Kappa, Incorporated. The National Sorority of Phi Delta Kappa, Incorporated is a nonprofit, educational sorority founded by eight educators desiring to establish a sisterhood among teachers and promote the highest ideals of the teaching profession. NSPDK was the idea of Gladys Merritt Ross, who, on Good Friday, March 30, 1923, convened a group of young teachers from Jersey City Normal School in Jersey City,New Jersey to discuss the idea of forming a sorority.

NSPDK'S MISSION STATEMENT IS: 

"To Foster a Spirit of Sisterhood among Teachers and to Promote the Highest Ideals of the Teaching Profession"

The Alpha Rho Chapter was founded in 1950 in Dallas, Texas and our purpose is to uphold and continue the purposes and dreams of our beloved founders from over 100 years ago.

I am truly honored to serve as the current president of our esteemed, dedicated and revered chapter.

Alpha Rho Chapter is composed of over one hundred plus professional educators dedicated to making an impact in the lives and minds of students that we touch daily in hundreds of schools located in the Dallas Metro area. We are also committed to promoting the highest standards and ideas in the teaching profession.

The Purpose of our sorority:

• To stimulate personal growth among teachers

• To foster a true spirit of sisterhood

• To promote the highest ideals of the teaching profession

• To encourage the development of the potential of our youth
