Point System

Each pledge must earn a minimum of eight activity points. Most activities are worth one point, such as meetings. However, to be a fully active member, we expect you to participate in ways other than attending meetings. ALL POINTS NEED TO BE EARNED BY THE December 2, 2012MEETING!

Ways to Earn Points

  • Attend meetings
  • Work on Committees
  • Visit the Eta Chapter Web Site at To get credit you need to turn in a completed copy of the quiz located on the site to the Vice President of Membership, Natalie Pope. This is worth one activity point.
  • Creative work (Due December 2, 2012).

Merit Awards

Any pledge or active member that goes above and beyond what is expected has an opportunity to achieve a merit award. The merit award is a high honor that all pledges and active members should strive to earn.

Senior Recognition

To be recognized as an outstanding senior with Kappa Delta Pi, you must average 4 points per active semester. By setting this high standard, the officers hope to ensure that active members will continue to participate in Kappa Delta Pi events.

Honor Cords

Senior recognition DOES NOT GUARANTEE HONOR CORDS. The points of your graduating peers determine honor cords. This simply means that those active members graduating, who have earned 4 points, will be awarded honor cords upon graduation paid by ETA Chapter. Any active member may purchase honor cords from the KDP Store at kdp.org.
