The Graduate Intake Program is designed for interested women who did not have the opportunity to obtain membership in Kappa Delta Chi as collegians. The program is currently available to women who live near one of our alumnae chapters. A candidate for membership is a woman who leads in her community, serves the Latina/o population, and is committed to lifelong learning. An interested woman must also have received a degree from a four-year accredited institution of higher education.

Upon completing the program, prospective members will be initiated into the Delta Alpha Chapter and receive all rights and privileges of Kappa Delta Chi.

Below are some of the key requirements of the program:

  • Submit an application and a $100 application fee.

  • Active engagement in a process that may last between five weeks and six months, based on the needs of the prospective member.

  • Regular meetings with the Graduate Member Educator and Graduate Member Educator Assistant via online or in person.

  • Live within a 50-mile radius of an active alumnae chapter.

  • Formal appointments with Active Alumnae in the area of residence. 

  • Commitment to 20 hours of service to the local community, of which 3 hours will be dedicated to a special project to be coordinated by the prospective member.

  • Organize a fundraiser to help cover program projects. Each prospective member must fundraise at least $50.

  • Adherence to our dry (i.e., no alcohol) policy while in the process.

  • Payment of $300 in dues.

Spring 2027 Grad Intake will open in January.

We will share Virtual Informationals in December to share more information about the process.
