About Kappa Delta Pi

Kappa Delta Pi was founded March 8, 1911, at the University of Illinois. Organized to recognize excellence in education, Kappa Delta Pi
elects those to membership who exhibit the ideals of scholarship, high personal standards, and promise in teaching and allied professions.
The Society encourages improvement, distinction in achievement, and contributions to education.

The Xi Alpha Chapter has been at UT Arlington since April 29, 1977. It is our goal to recognize scholarship and enhance the professional
development of our members.

Membership in Kappa Delta Pi signifies more than a well-deserved line on a resume. Members have the responsibility as a recognized honor
student and honored educator to maintain the high ideals of the Society and to extend its influence.

Persons elected to membership remain members for life; however, active membership is maintained through the payment of annual dues.
The Society’s goal is to provide resources and services at each stage of members’ careers.
