WELCOME MESSAGE

Welcome to the National Sorority of Phi Delta Kappa, Incorporated! We are the first education organization for teachers of color. We were founded in Jersey City, NJ, in 1923 by eight young teachers, “The Great Eight.” They wanted an organization that supported them in their profession and their community.

This organization has grown to include 148 chapters across the United States and Barbados. We’re still growing, chartering chapters in underserved states. Educators everywhere should be curious about our program.

We have a three-point program, Y.E.S., Youth, Education, and Service. Our youth program serves high school students from grades 9-12. The focus is on STEAM, leadership, and SAT preparation. Our youth continue to pursue higher education and have become responsible young adults. The education and service programs are listed and explained on this website. What differentiates us from other sororities is the Sisterhood with like-minded adults who share your love of education and working with children.

This website lists the chapters and their locations. If you want to know more about us, contact the chapter nearest to you. We would love to invite you to join us. We are anxious to invite willing workers to help us fulfill the sorority’s purposes.
