About our AES Chapter About KDP

The Alpha Epsilon Sigma (AES) Chapter at Western Governors University was installed by Dr. Heather Dodds, our Chapter's Counselor at the time, and Karen DeLawter, KDP's liaison to local chapters, on February 19, 2010. Since that time our chapter has grown to almost 6,000 members nationwide with two inductions each year.

KDP Honor Society was founded in 1911 to foster excellence in education and promote fellowship among those dedicated to teaching. For over a century, the Society has consistently grown, starting with a local chapter to become the international organization it is today, with an initiated membership that exceeds 1.5 million!

Our HistoryIn 1909, University of Illinois Professor of Education Dr. William Chandler Bagley and a group of four of his students, including Truman Lee Kelley and Thomas E. Musselman, founded the Illinois Education Club. On March 8, 1911, that club became Kappa Delta Pi (KDP), chosen from the Greek words to represent Knowledge, Duty, and Power. From its inception, KDP has been synonymous with scholarship, innovation, and excellence in the field of education.
