Alpha Kappa Delta
     

Alpha Kappa Delta (ΑΚΔ) is the National Honor Society for Sociology. The name is taken from the first letter of the three Greek words:

  • anthropon (mankind)

  • katamanthanein (to investigate)

  • diakonensein (for the purpose of service)
     

The Creighton chapter inducts new members from qualified Junior and Senior students (not all of whom are Sociology/Anthropology majors).
