Honor Society
Alpha Kappa Delta (AKD)
The National Sociological Honor
Society is named Alpha Kappa Delta (or AKD).
AKD was founded at the University of Southern California in 1920,
primarily as a group where students could learn about each other's
research, exchange ideas, and seek suggestions and critiques on their
sociology projects from their department faculty.
The University of Denver's AKD chapter is officially called
"Alpha of Colorado" and was founded in 1947.
Dr. Peter Adler is currently the faculty advisor for our chapter.
Each year, new members of AKD are solicited according to the
requirements listed below:
Undergraduate students:
·
Must
be officially declared sociology majors (or demonstrate a serious interest
in sociology within an official program of the host institution)
·
Must have junior standing
·
Must have an overall grade point average of 3.2 (on a 4.0 scale)
·
Must have a 3.2 grade point average in sociology courses
·
Must have completed at least four regular courses in sociology
prior to initiation
Graduate students:
Must have completed one-half year of
graduate study in sociology prior to initiation, with a grade point
average of B or better, and be actively working toward a graduate degree
in sociology.
Faculty/staff members may
also join AKD, providing they have a PhD in sociology and meet the
requirements listed above.
For
additional information about joining AKD, please contact Dr. Peter Adler
