Alpha Kappa Delta

"To investigate humanity for the purpose of service."

Alpha Kappa Delta (AKD), the international sociology honor society, was founded in 1921 by Dr. Emory S. Borgardus of the University of Southern California. The name Alpha Kappa Delta chosen because the letters represent the first letters of three classical Greek words that embody the function of society: anthrôpos, meaning mankind; katamanthanô, meaning to examine closely or acquire knowledge, and diakoneô, meaning to do service. As an honor society, Alpha Kappa Delta serves to recognize students with outstanding academic achievements in the field of sociology.  Dr. Amy Stone serves as the sponsor of the Alpha Beta of Texas Chapter of Alpha Kappa Delta in the Sociology Department at Trinity University.
