What do we hope to accomplish?
K
appa Delta Rho has always been about people. Each of us
can look back on our time in our chapter and remember
great times and great friendships and realize the things we
learned and took away from our experience.
Too often we can also look
back and realize we didn’t have the type of support from our organization
that other fraternities had. We didn’t have the scholarship programs,
or conferences, or staff to come and help us operate more efficiently.
If our chapter was in trouble or facing closure, generally, we were on
our own.
That DOES NOT work in today’s world. We cannot compete
effectively without the resources to support our chapters. If we truly
want to re-open closed chapters and grow, then that’s going to take
resources. If we truly want to have a meaningful and lasting impact
on the lives of undergraduate members, then we need programs and
scholarships to back that up.
The VISION of the future of KDR is one of a strong, well
funded, organization with industry leading programs that characterize
our fraternity as a true leader among fraternal organizations. We have
to recognize our peer fraternities are not sitting idly by while we try
to improve. They are making their own best efforts to grow and
succeed.
After 104 years it’s time for all of us, collectively, to look at
our history, imagine our future, and join together, 17,000 strong, and
position our fraternity to be a leader among fraternal organizations.
Join the more the 550 brothers who’ve already made a commitment
to support KDR as it transitions into the future and make your own
commitment today.

“Now almost half a century
later, a KDR brother is still
my best friend, principles
of tolerance and leadership
learned in the House still
guide me at work, traditions
learned about the university
still attract me back, and
those old songs and jokes
still make me laugh out loud.
Now help other guys through
the Centennial Campaign to
enrich their next fifty years?
You bet!”

“I have been donating to the CRP since June of 2006 and this
is my way to give back and to thank Kappa Delta Rho for the
many things she has given me. Knowing that I am able to give
back to KDR so that other brothers will be able to experience
life altering events and lifelong bonds, like I have made with
other brothers, is the reason I do this.”

Wilderness Institute
A
s the Campaign got underway three years ago
we were able to introduce the KDR Wilderness
Institute, a 7 day experiential personal development
experience in the Colorado Rockies. You can see a brief video
filmed live on the web at: www.kdrfoundation.org.
“The wilderness institute was
the most physically fatiguing
and emotionally challenging
experience of my life. With the
challenge came great reward,
and I was able to learn so much
about my fraternity, my brothers,
and found out things I never knew
about myself.”
-Kurt Karcher ‘11
Eta Alpha Chapter

Wilderness Institute Participant
“‘Culture is four days deep.’ We often cite this assertion during the
Wilderness Institute. By leaving our culture, its expectations, its
pressures, its problems, and its influence for an extended time, the
men of the Wilderness Institute are granted the space, time, and
peace necessary to work out the bigger picture - for themselves and
their communities.”

Williams Leadership Academy and Regional
Leadership Training Opportunities
T
he Fraternity improved the quality of speakers and programs for the Williams Leadership
Academy in the past few years. The Regional Conclave program has expanded and
improved. A new regional volunteer program utilizing what have been named as
Praetorian Prefects (regional volunteers) is being implemented on a national scale. Finally, a greater
emphasis on alumni programming and regional alumni associations has begun with the goal of
improving networking among alumni as well as developing a support network for both new and
existing chapters.
“Being a member of Kappa Delta Rho has made me the man I
am today. By donating to the CRP, I feel as though I have done
my part to ensure that the future generations of KDR will have
the same opportunities that I did.”
-Josh Allison ‘11

New Member Achievement Scholarships
T
wo years ago the Fraternity introduced the New Member Academic Achievement
Scholarship. Every new member at ANY chapter who attains a 3.0 or higher
during their pledge semester is eligible to apply for and receive a $100 scholarship.
While the scholarship is not large, it represents a good portion of the cost of joining the
fraternity. This helps in recruitment and retention. This directly impacts EVERY chapter,
including YOURS!

WHY NOW? WHAT’S THE URGENCY?
T
his is OUR CENTENNIAL and the campus climate is ripe for
expansion and restoring chapters that have been closed over the years.
To take advantage of the opportunity, develop adequate resources to
support new and existing chapters as well as support our undergraduate students in
their experience takes each of us making some effort to partner for the future and
participate in the Centennial Campaign with our own five-year pledge of support
to the campaign.
Now is the time to make your pledge! Please fill out the enclosed pledge form
and join your brothers on the Centennial Wall of Honor who have already
made a commitment to the future of Kappa Delta Rho.
“Even though my chapter has been closed for many years I still owe
a great deal to my experiences in KDR. My time in the chapter was
very significant to my personal overall development
and I am sure it was an important contributing
factor to the successes that I have enjoyed after my
undergraduate experience. There are not many
ways that I can “repay” KDR for my experiences
but “paying forward” to help other brothers, even
if they are not in Kappa Chapter, seems to me like
the ‘right thing to do’.”
