About Us:

 

Kappa Delta Epsilon (KDE) is an honorary educational fraternity which supports the cause of education by fostering a spirit of fellowship, high standards of scholastic attainment and professional ideals among its members. We are an active group engaged in preparing our members for the teaching profession. Kappa Delta Epsilon was organized March 25, 1933 in Washington, DC.

 

 

Our Creed

 

To love, respect, understand, and guide the student for a life of unfolding possibilities is the task of the teacher; to give aid, counsel, and support to fellow teachers and to all agencies promoting the love of truth, beauty, and goodness is the privilege of the teacher.

 

 

Our Chapter, Delta Iota

 

The Delta Iota Chapter of Kappa Delta Epsilon was chartered in 2017 at Texas A&M International University. In that time our organization has grown its community and goals on how we could make our members become the best they can be. Growth starts at our Words of Wisdom Lectures given by established professions with an immense amount of experience in the education field. Our members create a community where we can help one another prepare for future state examinations. Our organization tries to find various ways to help the Laredo education community through community service. Every Spring, National KDE awards up to $9,000 in scholarships to members of local Alumni and Collegiate chapters "in good standing". Scholarship awards of $750 each are available to up to 5 undergraduate and 2 graduate applicants across the nation. Members of the Delta Iota Chapter have won scholarships every year since our founding. When you join an organization like this one you are creating networking opportunities for yourself in the future. If you decide to join be prepared to talk to your members, professors, and members of the LISD & UISD community. Now is the time to start building your connections and preparing yourself for your future career.
