PDK International (also known as PDK or Phi Delta Kappa International) is an international professional organization for educators. Its main office is in Arlington, Virginia. It was founded on January 24, 1906, at Indiana University. [1]
Currently, membership consists of educators and others interested in education. Members are affiliated through one of several hundred chapters or directly to the international organization. [2]
PDK is governed by an International Board, who are elected by professional PDK members. The association abides by the Constitution and Bylaws of PDK International. [3]
The chief executive of PDK International is Dr. James F. Lane. [4]
Phi Delta Kappa began at Indiana University on January 24, 1906, in the formal creation of a chapter under the name Pi Kappa Mu. By 1910, the organization had a total of three chapters. On March 1, 1910, Pi Kappa Mu, Phi Delta Kappa (which had been organized at Columbia University on March 13, 1908) and Nu Rho Beta (which had been organized at University of Missouri on February 23, 1909) amalgamated under the name Phi Delta Kappa. Before amalgamation, Phi Delta Kappa had also branched out to two other chapters. [5]
Phi Delta Kappa was limited to white males at the August 1915 convention. In 1940, Sigma chapter at Ohio State University initiated two non-white members (one Chinese, one Black), and was suspended at the December 1941 convention with charter revocation to occur in May 1942 if the chapter did not remove membership for the two non-whites. A demand for a popular vote of the entire membership led to a membership poll being sent to all members and eventually the deletion of the "white clause" by the membership. On June 2, 1942, an announcement was made to all of the chapters of the removal of the race restriction. [6]
Phi Delta Kappa joined the Professional Interfraternity Conference in 1928. [7]
Phi Delta Kappan is a professional journal for education, published by Phi Delta Kappa International, starting in 1915.
Programs administered by the fraternity include the honor society Pi Lambda Theta and the career and technical student organization Educators Rising.
As of January 2024, Phi Delta Kappa International has 124 chapters. [8] [5] Following is a list of Phi Delta Kappa International chapters. [8] Active chapters are indicated in bold. Inactive chapters are in italics.

Phi Iota Alpha (ΦΙΑ), established on December 26, 1931, is the oldest Latino Fraternity in existence, and works to motivate people, develop leaders, and create innovative ways to unite the Latino community. The organization has roots that stem back to the late 19th century to the first Latin American fraternity, and the first Latin American student organization in the United States. The brotherhood is composed of undergraduate, graduate, and professional men committed towards the empowerment of the Latin American community by providing intensive social and cultural programs and activities geared towards the appreciation, promotion and preservation of Latin American culture.
Sigma Pi (ΣΠ) is a collegiate fraternity with 232 chapters at American universities. As of 2021, the fraternity had more than 5,000 undergraduate members and over 118,000 alumni.
The National Panhellenic Conference (NPC) is an umbrella organization for 26 national and international women's sororities throughout the United States and Canada. Panhellenic refers to the group's members being autonomous social Greek-letter societies of college women and alumnae.
Theta Kappa Nu (ΘΚΝ) Fraternity was an American national collegiate fraternity founded in 1924 by delegates from eleven local fraternities. It merged with Lambda Chi Alpha in 1939.
Professional fraternities, in the North American fraternity system, are organizations whose primary purpose is to promote the interests of a particular profession and whose membership is restricted to students in that particular field of professional education or study. This may be contrasted with service fraternities and sororities, whose primary purpose is community service, and social fraternities and sororities, whose primary purposes are generally aimed towards some other aspect, such as the development of character, friendship, leadership, or literary ability.
Baird's Manual of American College Fraternities was a compendium of fraternities and sororities in the United States and Canada, published between 1879 and 1991. One modern writer notes, "Baird's Manual of American College Fraternities, was, in essence, the Bible of the Greek letter system."
George Riddle Banta, Sr. was the founder of the George Banta Company and an influential figure in the development of the collegiate Phi Delta Theta fraternity and Delta Gamma women's fraternity.
Pi Lambda Theta (ΠΛΘ) is one of three main education honor societies and professional associations for educators in the United States.
The Professional Fraternity Association (PFA) is an American association of national, collegiate, professional fraternities and sororities that was formed in 1978. Since PFA groups are discipline-specific, members join while pursuing graduate degrees as well as undergraduate degrees. PFA groups seek to develop their members professionally in addition to the social development commonly associated with Panhellenic fraternities. Membership requirements of the PFA are broad enough to include groups that do not recruit new members from a single professional discipline. The PFA has welcomed service and honor fraternities as members; however, Greek letter honor societies more commonly belong to the Association of College Honor Societies.
Kappa Delta Pi (KDP), Honor Society in Education, was founded in 1911. KDP was one of the first discipline-specific honor societies. Its membership is limited to the top 20 percent of those entering the field of education.
The North American fraternity and sorority system began with students who wanted to meet secretly, usually for discussions and debates not thought appropriate by the faculty of their schools. Today they are used as social, professional, and honorary groups that promote varied combinations of community service, leadership, and academic achievement.
This article describes smaller collegiate sororities created in the nineteenth century and early to middle twentieth century on campuses in the United States and Canada. These sororities are defunct. Individual chapters may have affiliated with National Panhellenic Conference (NPC) sororities.
