Alpha Kappa Delta

AKD was founded in 1920 by Dr. Emory S. Bogardus.  Alpha Kappa Delta (AKD) was created for the purposes of stimulating scholarship a

nd promoting the scientific study of society. Bogardus’ impetus in establishing this organization was to provide a forum for student and faculty interchange. His endeavor paved the way for what has become an international organization dedicated to promoting, facilitating, and recognizing academic scholarship. The Gamma chapter at Iowa State University was founded in 1950. The chapter supports the Sociology Graduate Student Colloquia and holds an annual AKD banquet every spring to honor and recognize the accomplishments of chapter members.
