Kappa Delta Pi Alpha Omega Chapter was established under the College of Education at Oregon State University in 2024. The Kappa Delta Pi Alpha Omega Chapter is committed to fostering excellence in education by supporting the professional growth, leadership, and academic integrity of its members.
Rooted in KDP, the ideals of knowledge, duty, and power, we aim to inspire lifelong learning, uphold high ethical standards, and promote meaningful service to the educational community. Through collaboration, scholarship, and advocacy, the Alpha Omega Chapter empowers educators to make an impact on classrooms, schools, their personal and professional lives, and beyond.

Leadership
Samantha Cook, President
My name is Samantha Cook and I am a senior in my student teaching year here at Oregon State Universities College of Education! Back in 2024, I was asked to be part of the founding team for our chapter, not knowing what that would look like. Little did I know this would open so many doors for me and my peers. I am beyond grateful to be part of the leadership team for this chapter. Seeing where we came from, and where we are going is incredible. From networking events to self-care nights, I love being able to see how our chapter is growing and benefiting our members as both educators and individuals.
