Welcome to PKD

Our Mission, Vision & Values (Click Here) 

 
  
 
 Nearly a century ago, a small band of students created a new honorary society for forensics competitors at small colleges and named it Pi Kappa Delta.  As their motto, they chose:
 

   The Art of Persuasion, Beautiful and Just.

 
 

From these modest beginnings, a long journey began where students, faculty and alumni committed themselves not only to the premise that forensics was fun and educational, but also that the values of camaraderie and high ethical standards were vital components of intercollegiate competition.


 

That dream has continued for almost a century, and now it is time to ensure that the forensic activity, and especially Pi Kappa Delta can continue to deliver this promise to new generations of students.
