Governance

Kappa Delta Governance

Banner of chapter flags

Each biennium,

Kappa Delta amends its bylaws and elects a new National Council each biennium at its National Convention. This is an important time for all Kappa Deltas, which is why delegates from our collegiate and alumnae chapters attend National Convention to vote on these proposed changes and leaders. 

Kappa Delta’s 67th National Convention is coming up on July 9-12, 2027, and will take place at the Omni Orlando Resort at ChampionsGate in Orlando, Florida. Check out the information below to learn more about the bylaws and election process! 

National Elections

Kappa Delta is what it is today because of the exceptional women who have led our great organization for more than 128 years. Their selfless dedication, vision, wisdom and courage have allowed our sorority to flourish. At the 2027 National Convention, delegates will elect the National Council officers who will lead us into the next biennium. 

By April 30, 2027, ahead of Kappa Delta’s 67th Biennial National Convention, Kappa Delta’s Nominating Committee will present the slate of candidates for delegates to vote on in person at Convention. 

For information on the process and links to the applications for National Council and the Nominating Committee, login to the Member Portal to access the Resource Library. Documents and links are stored in the Resource Library under the Governance > National Elections folder.

National Bylaws

Our National Bylaws are a key governance document of the sorority. They establish the structure of the organization. Supported by legal counsel, a professional parliamentarian and the National Council, each biennium a National Bylaws Committee is appointed to examine the Bylaws for compliance to current Kappa Delta operations and best practices for member associations. 

The committee is dedicated to ensuring the National Bylaws serve the organization and its members for the foreseeable future. They will share proposed amendments to the National Bylaws for consideration at Kappa Delta’s 67th Biennial Nation Convention, taking place July 9-12, 2027. Once proposed, in the months leading up to convention, members can review proposed amendments to the National Bylaws by logging into the Member Portal.
