Alpha Kappa Delta:
AKD is the international sociology honor society, founded in 1920 at the University of Southern California. The University of Wyoming chapter of Alpha Kappa Delta was established in 1995.
Alpha Kappa Delta takes its name from the Greek words:
Anthropon = humankind
Katamanthaneion = to investigate thoroughly
Diakonesein = the purpose of service
When this phrase is translated freely, it expresses the purpose of AKD,
"To investigate humanity for the purpose of service."
