A Leadership Development Consultant (LDC) is a Kappa Delta ambassador who gets to travel the country, providing support and guidance to a number of collegiate chapters with their operations, recruitment, leadership, sisterhood and more!
LDCs are full-time, salaried members of the Kappa Delta Headquarters staff. The position offers college seniors and recent grads the perfect position to kickstart their career and gain professional confidence.
A lot! Every day is different as an LDC. Depending on the chapter assignment, LDCs assist with leadership development of members, belonging and inclusion efforts and new chapter establishment. You may be traveling 50% of the time or in residence at a university. You’ll also gain valuable knowledge and skills in developing others, public speaking, facilitating meetings, team collaboration, budgeting and reporting.
First of all, we want to take a moment to say that we’re so excited you’re interested! The skills you’ll gain as an LDC will help prepare you for the next step in your career! Plus, you’ll make memories that will last a lifetime.
Applications for the 2023-2024 year are currently closed.
In general, applications open in November with interviews taking place throughout December, with most LDCs being notified they have been selected in January of the following year.
Once selected, LDCs attend an in-person training at Kappa Delta Headquarters in Memphis, TN in July. After training, travel begins in early August and ends May of the following year.

Any good-standing member who has graduated within the past year or is approaching graduation!
The LDC interview process consists of a few rounds of virtual interviews to get to know you and for you to get to know the team, leadership and position a bit more. After the virtual interviews, Kappa Delta brings all-selected interviewees to Kappa Delta HQ in Memphis, Tennessee for the in-person, final round interview.
Both! Leadership development consultants work in an office half the time – whether that be a home office, at KDHQ or in residence at a chapter – and the other half is spent traveling for training or chapter visits. You might be taking a Zoom call at the airport, in a hotel room or even in the back of an Uber! If you love exploring new places, being an LDC could be perfect for you.
Nope! You did not have to be a Kappa Delta officer to apply. However, we are looking for individuals who have leadership experience and campus/community involvement, superior time management skills, and excellent critical thinking and decision-making abilities.
