ALPHA KAPPA DELTA
Alpha Kappa Delta, the Sociology Honor Society was founded in 1920 in the Sociology Department of the University of Southern California by Dr. E.S. Bogardus. The name, Alpha Kappa Delta, represents the first three letters of three Greek words: anthropon (mankind), katamanthanein (to investigate thoroughly or to conduct research), and diakonesein (for the purpose of service). The name, freely interpreted, signifies social research for the purpose of service. There are more than 500 chapters of the Society. Membership is limited to undergraduate and graduate students with high academic achievement. Your class rank and grade point average qualify you for membership.
Membership requirements include the following. Any student who is interested in being a member of the chapter needs to meet or exceed the following requirements:
- The applicant must be a sociology major and demonstrate a serious interest in the discipline.
- The applicant must be at least a junior.
- The applicant must have an overall rank in the top 35% of their class or an overall GPA of 3.3.
- The applicant must have completed at least 4 classes in sociology.
