Alpha Kappa
Delta is an International Sociology Honor Society dedicated
to the study of humankind for the purpose of service. The XI of Indiana
Chapter of Saint Mary's College was established in 1995.
Alpha Kappa Delta traces its beginnings back to 1920 at the University
of Southern California, when the chair of the department of sociology,
Dr. Emory S. Bogardus, proposed to the graduate students that they form
a society where the students could become acquainted with each other's
research projects and where they could meet informally with the faculty
and staff for suggestions and criticisms. Today, with thousands of members
in over 440 chapters throughout the world, AKD is truly an international
sociological honor society.
The goal and purpose of AKD is reflected in its name, Alpha Kappa
Delta, which was created by Dr. Bogardus. It represents the first
three letters of three Greek words:
A:
Anthropon (mankind)
K: Katamanthaneion (to investigate or research)
D: Diakonesein (for the purpose of service)
Alpha
Kappa Delta strives to promote the study of social issues and serve
humankind, while at the same time providing an extracurricular outlet
for students interested in the study of sociology.
The
status of Life Member is conferred upon those persons who
have been approved for membership by a Chartered Chapter
of this society and who have paid the initiation fee for
membership. The status of Voting member is conferred upon
those Life Members who maintain a current subscription to Sociological
Inquiry, the official journal of the United Chapters
of Alpha Kappa Delta and are affiliated with a Charter Chapter.
