What is Alpha Kappa Delta (AKD)?

AKD is dedicated to the ideal of Anthropon Katamanthanein Diskonesein or "to investigate humanity for the purpose of service" (taken from the Handbook of United Chapters of Alpha Kappa Delta). AKD seeks to promote the development of scholastic and leadership skills within the framework of a national honor society and the department of Sociology.
