Welcome to the Beta Phi Chapter of Kappa Delta Pi! We are located in the valley of the sun, Phoenix, AZ, at Arizona State University home of the Sun Devils. The Beta Phi chapter serves Tempe, West, Polytechnic, Downtown and Online Learning campuses at ASU.
We are an International Honor Society in Education. Our motto, represented by the emblem, stands for Knowledge, Duty, and Power. Our chapter has a long history of leadership, service, and dedication. Beginning on December 16th, 1930, many have followed the creed of Humanity, Science, Service, and Toil.

“KDP is an organization that will grow with you as your career grows. Each year since I’ve joined, KDP has assisted me in my personal and professional growth in education. Educators everywhere encounter similar problems. Instead of reinventing the wheel, KDP gives teachers and administrators alike a venue in which we can share ideas and work through our common issues with continued support.”
