Our Commitment to Education
We believe that armed with a solid education, not just tools that can help in a classroom, but also in the real world, children and adults will be better able to prosper in their lives. Education is the key to empowerment.

The Sisters of Delta Kappa Delta Sorority strive to educate young and old through working with different schools and after school programs, local organizations that work with teenage moms on how to tend to their child, or teach a group of children how to put on a Sari, or simply taking the time out to educate others about the South Asian culture and heritage. One of the most powerful tools is through action, by being a role model to these children, and those who are willing to learn. By encouraging education, we help build a successful future.

In October, we hold a week of fundraisers and educational events to increase awareness about the importance of children's education. All the proceeds go toward Akash's Library. In 2019 during HOPE Week, our sisters led fun science experiments with the children at the Boys and Girls Club to inspire and spark their interest in science.

Education Within Our Charter
DKD puts academics as a number one priority. The academic portion of your university career is one significant determinant in your future success. A primary purpose of the sorority community is to encourage and develop high scholastic achievement among its members. Several factors contribute to this academic atmosphere, including peer tutoring, upperclassman counseling, leadership training, chapter study hours, and many more. These all will help new students become more familiar to the longer and more intense studying that college requires over time.
Each sister also is required to maintain a 2.50 GPA once they cross into the sisterhood. To ensure sisters are meeting this GPA, our academic chair provides one on one support to sisters needing an extra hand. Through presentations on study tools to creating a robust study schedule to studying together, our academic chair and sisters support one another to ensure each sister is reaching her full potential academically. Additionally, we keep track of study hours every week and encourage sisters to get more involved with their academic through going to office hours and attending study groups. Our first priority is to ensure all sisters graduate and are an inspiration for actives that will continue in the same paths. |
