Kappa
Delta Psi
Michigan
Tech Local Fraternity
Founded at Michigan
Tech in 1921 by veterans of World War I, Kappa
Delta Psi Fraternity was incorporated in February
of 1946. Excelling in social, athletic, and academic
activities, the KD's form a solid, close-knit
group to provide a friendly atmosphere and leadership
capabilities for members. In the past, the fraternity
was instrumental in the establishment of the Inter-Fraternity
Association, the governing body for the fraternities
on campus. Each year the KD's place their share
of members on varied organizations on campus.
The athletic skills typical of many of the members
of Kappa Delta Psi were showcased recently as
many members were on the 2004 Great Lakes Intercollegiate
Athletic Conference Football Championship team.
Also, many of the alumni were a part of the Michigan
Tech NIC Football and WCHA Hockey Conference Championship
teams, along with capturing many overall Intramural
trophies which decorate the Kappa Delta Psi house.
Now solidly entrenched in their residence, the
men of Kappa Delta Psi plan to continue their
success in activities, and to play a dominant
role as campus leaders at Michigan Tech.
