About EMPOWER
01
Learn from past recruitment success and opportunities, setting data-driven goals for recruitment and retention. (You’ll be paired with and meet with your expert EMPOWER coach prior to the event to get ready!)
02
Promote the KD experience year-round through marketing to elevate the KD brand on your campus and create positive buzz prior to recruitment.
03
Through peer sharing, chapter leaders will share their successes, what they do well and are most proud of for other chapters to learn from.
All attendees need to book their own travel to and from EMPOWER. Book early to manage costs! Plan on arriving to the hotel no later than 6:30 p.m. CT on Friday and departing the hotel no earlier than Noon CT on Sunday.
Two airports in the Dallas area are located within proximity to the EMPOWER hotel.
Attendees are encouraged to book airfare early to secure the best pricing.
Note: National Volunteers are required to book all travel through the TravelPerk platform per the National Volunteer Travel & Expense Policy, unless they are attending on behalf of a collegiate chapter as an advisor.
For those driving or renting a car, complimentary self-parking is available at the hotel.
Attendees are responsible for arranging and covering the cost of their own ground transportation between the airport and the hotel, or any other trips. Ride-share apps such as Uber or Lyft are recommended, and we encourage you to share rides with chapter sisters when possible.

We’re inviting all chapter recruitment and marketing leaders to EMPOWER because together we can elevate Kappa Delta’s recruitment excellence, strengthen our Panhellenic communities and learn from one another. Here’s what you need to know before heading to EMPOWER!
Chapters will be assigned one of two weekends to attend the EMPOWER Recruitment & Marketing Academy in Dallas, Texas – either Friday, Feb. 6 – Sunday, Feb. 8, 2026 or Friday, Feb. 20 – Sunday, Feb. 22, 2026. The assigned weekend was communicated to your recruitment and marketing leaders on Sept. 19 via email and can be seen in the table below. Chapters are grouped with campuses of similar recruitment size and style, providing a great networking opportunity for leaders to connect.

Kappa Delta Headquarters has booked hotel rooms for attendees and will assign roommates. Collegiate attendees will sleep four-to-a-room, and alumnae attendees will sleep two-to-a-room. Your roommate(s) will be shared with you prior to EMPOWER via email. If you prefer double- (collegians) or single-occupancy (alumnae), email events@kappadelta.org.create new email
Hotel room check-in will be available Friday at 4 p.m. CT, and attendees must check out by Sunday at Noon CT.
Each chapter is expected to send their new (1) VP R&M, (2) DSM&M and (3) CAB R&M (or the CAB member who works most closely with recruitment), elected and appointed in November 2025 that will serve until fall 2026. If your chapter has not traditionally appointed a director of social media & marketing, consider adding this appointed position, and bring the new officer to the program, or, bring the leader responsible for social media, content creation and PR. Simply put, we’ve seen how important this role can be in a chapter’s marketing success.
The per-person registration is $600, and includes programming, supplies, two meals (Friday dinner and Saturday lunch) and lodging for Friday and Saturday nights. The total registration cost for a chapter sending three people is $1,800. Other meals, travel and transportation costs will be the responsibility of the chapter.
Attendees will have access to these restaurants for breakfast:
