The fraternity of Kappa Delta Rho was formed on May 17, 1905 by ten men at Middlebury College in Vermont. These men were unsatisfied by the status quo of the other fraternities that were on campus. They chose as our motto Honor Super Omnia - Honor Before All Things, a motto that we KDRs strive to uphold every day. They chose our colors to be Middlebury Blue and Princeton Orange to symbolize truth and justice. Our flower, the red rose, stands for love and incorruption.

Since 1905, the Fraternity has expanded selectively to institutions that have met the Fraternity's high standards for academic excellence and social development. There are over 40 active chapters spread around the country.

KDR has initiated over 23,000 men in its one hundred years.

Kappa Delta Rho is a lifetime brotherhood dedicated to the continuing character development of its members through our values: Fellowship, Leadership, Scholarship, Service, and Tradition.
