Kappa Phi Kappa (ΚΦΚ) is a professional fraternity for students in Education. It was organized in 1922 at Dartmouth College.^[3] It currently has one remaining active chapter, at Ohio State University.^[4]

History

Kappa Phi Kappa was founded at Dartmouth as a Men's Professional Fraternity in 1922. It was incorporated on April 25, 1922, in New Hampshire, by Riverda H. Jordan, Arthur Wright, Adam C. Gilliland, James G. Stevens, Wesley R. Jones, and Thomas J. Byrne. Unlike other fraternities, the incorporation of the national body preceded the organization of local chapters. February 28, 1922 is celebrated as Founders' Day as it was on that day that the first meeting to work out the detailed plans for the organization was held.^[3]

The Ohio State University chapter was formed from a chapter of Sigma Delta Sigma, a fraternity with similar aims with two chapters in 1928. In 1933, the Executive Board of Kappa Phi Kappa invited representatives from six institutions together to form Kappa Delta Epsilon Society, a Women's Professional Sorority.^[5] In 1957, it had 37 active chapters, 28 inactive, in 1963, it had 40 active chapters, 28 inactive.^[1] By 2016, Ohio State University was the only remaining active chapter.

Membership

Membership was originally limited to white male students who took courses in the Department of Education including graduate students and faculty. Provision was made for alumni and honorary membership. It admitted members belong to undergraduate Greek Letter Fraternities and did not bar members from belong to honorary or graduate organizations.^[6]

By 1968 (perhaps long before), membership had been open to all races, and the fraternity is now open to both genders.^[7]

Magazine

The general distribution magazine for Kappa Phi Kappa was the "Open Book Magazine of Kappa Phi Kappa" and was published quarterly. Additionally, the house organ "Closed Book" is circulated only among undergraduate members.

The badge is in the form of a key displaying an open book in dull gold with the letters ΚΦΚ in black enamel in relief across the pages of the book. The colors of the fraternity are Green and white, the flower is the white carnation.^[3]
