They spent their summer preparing for a year of travel during which they will help develop effective collegiate leaders and strengthen Kappa Delta chapters. Now in the coming days and weeks, our 21 leadership development consultants will be hitting the road to visit chapters all over the country. Before our #roadwarriors start collecting their frequent flyer miles, there are some fun facts you should know about them.
