Kappa Delta Kappa Sorority (ΚΔΚ), also known as KDK, was created on November 22, 1938, at Ursinus College in Collegeville, PA.[1] It is one of five sororities currently active at Ursinus.[2] It is a sisterhood of women who promote friendship, scholarship, and diversity within the Ursinus College community. The qualities that ΚΔΚ seeks in young women include achievement, integrity, responsibility, tolerance, empathy, respect, and self-reliance. Kappa Delta Kappa Sorority continually honors its commitment to community service, through toy and clothing drives, charity walks, and other assorted service activities.[1]
