Fraternity Education Fraternity education is the way that sisters in Alpha Delta Kappa learn how our organization works—its structure and history—as well as the way we learn about our altruistic endeavors, our Bylaws and our policies. Each time we participate in a fraternity education activity, we learn more or review what we already know about our beloved organization. Fraternity education reminds us what it actually means to be a member of Alpha Delta Kappa. It is important to emphasize fraternity education, since it gives all our members a common base of knowledge that helps bind our sisterhood together. _____________________________________________________________________________________
