ALPHA KAPPA DELTA CERTIFICATES. Alpha Kappa Delta (AKD) is the International Sociology Honor Society. It derives its name from "anthropon" (humankind), "katamanthanein" (to investigate thoroughly), and "diakonesein" (for the purpose of service). When this phrase is translated freely, it expresses the goal of Alpha Kappa Delta: To study humankind for the purpose of service. In a very real sense, AKD promotes human welfare through the association of undergraduate and graduate students interested in developing scientific solutions to social problems. Membership is awarded only to those college students who have achieved superior academic achievement.
