Description of Organization: 

The Kappa Delta Pi International Honor Society subscribes to the four ideals of Fidelity
to Humanity, Service, Science, and Toil. We endeavor to maintain professional fellowship,
enhance professional growth, and honor achievement in the field of education and related
helping professions.

Education is a vital force in any society that encourages universal welfare and individual
progress. Education is likewise the cornerstone of democracy and the foundation for
personal fulfillment. As an International Honor Society in Education, Kappa Delta
Pi has adopted and continues to pledge fidelity to four cherished ideals: Humanity,
Science, Service, and Toil.

The central ideal of fidelity to Humanity is faith in the potential of all human beings,
through education, to experience more meaningful lives. Kadelpians pledge their loyalty
to the ideal that young and old of every race and creed shall, through equality of
educational opportunity, enjoy physical health, social and political rights, and economic
justice.

Fidelity to the ideal of Science requires faithfulness to the cause of free inquiry.
It implies accepting proven and replicative truth as a way of eliminating prejudice
and superstition. It also implies not rushing to condemn the old and tested truth
to accept ideas and practices that seem new and spectacular. Fidelity to Science requires,
perhaps most of all, not distorting evidence to support a favored theory or practice.

A major incentive of the great teachers of the world has always been their desire
to serve learners of all ages, classes, and races. Kadelpians pledge fidelity to Service
as they enable learners and communities, through education, to achieve justice, peace,
and a better quality of life for persons everywhere.

Toil is the fourth ideal to which Kadelpians pledge fidelity. With faith in the social
necessity and intrinsic reward of the teaching profession, they show their will to
do what must be done. If one life is given greater freedom and nobler vision, toil
is not in vain.

So to teach that my words and actions inspire a will to learn; so to serve that each
day may enhance the growth of exploring and expanding minds; so to live that I may
guide young and old to know the truth and love the right. To the fulfillment of these
ideals, I pledge my efforts and loyalty.

Description of Organization: Psi Chi, the International Honor Society in Psychology, was founded in 1929 with a
mission to encourage excellence in scholarship and advance the science of psychology.
Psi Chi’s purpose shall be to encourage, stimulate, and maintain excellence in scholarship
of the individual members in all fields, particularly in psychology, and to advance
the science of psychology. Psi Chi serves two major goals: one immediate and visibly
rewarding to the individual member, the other slower and more difficult to accomplish,
but offering greater rewards in the long run. The first of these is the Society’s
obligation to provide academic recognition to its inductees by the mere fact of membership. The second goal is the obligation
of each of the Society’s local chapters to nurture the spark of that accomplishment
by offering a climate congenial to members’ creative development. For example, the chapters make active attempts to nourish and stimulate professional
growth through programs designed to augment and enhance the regular curriculum and
to provide practical experience and fellowship through affiliation with the chapter.
In addition, the international organization provides programs to help achieve these
goals, including Society and regional conventions held annually in conjunction with
the psychological associations, research award competitions, and certificate recognition
programs.
