East Carolina University College of Education’s Eta Chi chapter of Kappa Delta Pi was able to initiate 18 new members this year.
The Eta Chi chapter hosted a virtual initiation ceremony on April 19 for their newest members.
Drs. Monica Gonzalez and Kristen Gregory, the chapter’s counselors, gave students a two-week window to complete a virtual initiation. Once they finished that, Drs. Gonzalez and Gregory mailed the purple and green graduation cords, pins, certificates and creeds to the new members.
Kappa Delta Pi was founded by William Bagley, Truman Kelly, and Thomas Edgar Musselman in 1911 at the University of Illinois to foster excellence in education and promote fellowship among those dedicated to teaching. The society has continued to grow for more than a century with outstanding members such as Albert Einstein, George Washington Carver, and Eleanor Roosevelt. Today, it is an international organization with more than 1.2 million members. The Eta Chi chapter was installed at East Carolina University in May 1953.
