PDK International (also known as PDK or Phi Delta Kappa International) is an international professional organization for educators. Its main office is in Arlington, Virginia. It was founded on January 24, 1906, at Indiana University.[1]
Membership
[edit]Currently, membership consists of educators and others interested in education. Members are affiliated through one of several hundred chapters or directly to the international organization.[2]
Governance
[edit]PDK is governed by an International Board, who are elected by professional PDK members. The association abides by the Constitution and Bylaws of PDK International.[3]
The chief executive of PDK International is Dr. James F. Lane.[4]
History
[edit]Phi Delta Kappa began at Indiana University on January 24, 1906, in the formal creation of a chapter under the name Pi Kappa Mu. By 1910, the organization had a total of three chapters. On March 1, 1910, Pi Kappa Mu, Phi Delta Kappa (which had been organized at Columbia University on March 13, 1908) and Nu Rho Beta (which had been organized at University of Missouri on February 23, 1909) amalgamated under the name Phi Delta Kappa. Before amalgamation, Phi Delta Kappa had also branched out to two other chapters.[5]
Phi Delta Kappa was limited to white males at the August 1915 convention. In 1940, Sigma chapter at Ohio State University initiated two non-white members (one Chinese, one Black), and was suspended at the December 1941 convention with charter revocation to occur in May 1942 if the chapter did not remove membership for the two non-whites. A demand for a popular vote of the entire membership led to a membership poll being sent to all members and eventually the deletion of the "white clause" by the membership. On June 2, 1942, an announcement was made to all of the chapters of the removal of the race restriction.[6]
Phi Delta Kappa joined the Professional Interfraternity Conference in 1928.[7]
Publications
[edit]Phi Delta Kappan is a professional journal for education, published by Phi Delta Kappa International, starting in 1915.
Activities
[edit]Programs administered by the fraternity include the honor society Pi Lambda Theta and the career and technical student organization Educators Rising.
