Youth

Kappa Omicron Tau (KOT)- is a college guidance group for students pursuing a degree in education.

KOT HISTORY

Kappa Omicron Tau (KOT) Division originated from the formation of Junior Teachers Clubs at the 1942 Indianapolis, IN Conclave. This idea was conceived by Soror Gertrude Robinson.  Under the active leadership of Soror Annabell Scarbrough, Alpha Lambda Chapter in Norfolk, VA, standardized procedures for organizing KOT were initiated and a pin, membership card, and certificate were designed.  For the Far Western Region, KOTs were organized in 1969 by Soror Miriam Canty at the Third Far Western Regional Conference in Los Angeles, CA.
