Laura Stelsel is director of marketing & communications at Kappa Delta Pi.
Kappa Delta Pi will be 104 years old on March 8. How do you plan to celebrate? Whether you wear your KDP pin or have a chapter celebration (you can find resources to plan your celebration on the KDP website), we hope you’ll do something to commemorate our founding AND we hope you take a moment to snap a photo.
Why? Because it’s time for our first Founders Day photo contest! Eligible participants include any paid, current member of the Society OR a chapter of paid, current members of the Society. Winners cannot have a lapsed membership status.
The contest runs through noon on March 13, after which a winner (and prizes) will be selected by KDP staff and announced via social media.
Here’s how you can enter the contest:
- Post photos to Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram using the hashtag #KDPFounders AND/OR
- Email photos to marketing@kdp.org
- Include a few sentences about the photos
- Watch for the winner announcement on March 14

Have a piece of our history in your chapter archives? Bring it out for Founders Day! And snap a photo, of course.
In the meantime, check out all of the submissions in our Facebook album. Good luck!
By submitting a photo, you grant Kappa Delta Pi permission to use your likeness, and the likeness of the other parties, in a photograph in any and all of its publications, including website entries, without payment or any other consideration.
