We are excited to announce the 2026-2027 Kappa Delta Leadership Development Consultants and want to introduce you to the team!   

Leadership Development Consultants (LDCs) are recent graduates who provide education, guidance and support to Kappa Delta collegians, serving as mentors and role models for our chapters. Some LDCs are traveling consultants, visiting and supporting different chapters in specific divisions. Others are in-residence consultants, supporting one or two chapters throughout the year.   

Since the first consultant hit the road in 1962, LDCs have strengthened chapters and helped members build their confidence while developing their own skills in the process.  This fall, these 14 women will pack their bags and hit the road to support our Kappa Delta collegiate chapters.   

We can’t wait to see all that our incoming consultants accomplish!

Advice she would give her college freshman self:  

“It’s not that serious! I think I’ve always been a big thinker, and at the start of college, overthinking would kind of consume me at times. Now, I feel that my laid-back nature and confidence have really taken over.
