| | Order of Attainment Nomination Information: The order of Attainment was established by the National Council in 2007 to honor the
societal contributions of Pi Kappa Delta Alumni. These contributions may be global, national or local in scope and reflect the role of forensics and pi Kappa Delta in building life-long citizens dedicated to lives of leadership and service.
Any Pi Kappa Delta member can submit an Order of Attainment nomination. (The nominee need not be a member of the came Pi Kappa Delta chapter as the person submitting the nomination.) Although the member being recommend for the Order of Attainment needs to have been a member of The Order of Active Undergraduate to be eligible for consideration, he or she need not have obtained an advanced degree -- such as the Degree of Special Distinction or the Degree of Highest Distinction. In addition, Order of Attainment nominees need not be affiliated with currently active chapters in good standing, and nominations from inactive chapters are welcomed. Finally, it is the intention of this Order to recognize accomplishments that go beyond competitive success in intercollegiate speech and debate. Although Order of Attainment nominees may have been highly successful competitors, their success at tournaments is not a relevant factor in the consideration of their nomination. Both living members and post-humus nominations will be considered.
