Kappa Omicron Tau Sorority

[preciousjeni]

Without divulging too much private information, I ran across a woman who claims to be the Vice President for a sorority called Kappa Omicron Tau. She went to college in New York, but the only reference for a Kappa Omicron Tau sorority I can find is a youth/youth auxiliary organization in the south.

Has anyone ever heard of this organization?

No listing of it from the 1968 copy of Baird's.

Kappa Omicron Tau Sorority, Inc.

The National Sorority of Phi Dleta Kappa, Inc. has always had a major concern for the guidance of youth. At the conclave in Indianapolis, Indiana, 1941, the dea for Junior Teachers Club was discussed, and in 1942, under the leadership of Soror Gertude A. Robinson, the plan for Junior Teachers Guidance Clubs was adopted. College Guidance Groups were also conceived by Soror Gertude A. Robinson.
The Junior Teachers Club and College Guidance Groups may be considered as forerunners for the National Sorority of Phi Delta Kappa, Inc. Kappa Omicron Tau Division. The first group of KOT's was sponsored by the Gamma Beta Chapter of Kansas City, Kansas.
The College Guidance Division, Kappa Omicron Tau experienced a period of growth under the active leadership of Soror Annabelle Scarbrough of the Alpha Lambda Chapter, who also served as the National Chairman of Kappa Omicron Tau under the Supreme President Arthur Mea Norris and Billy J. Mason. Soror Scarbrough initiated standardized procedures for organizing KOT groups, designed a pin, membership card, and certificate of membership.

I'm glad they can spell so well.

Is this what you found preciousjeni?
I'm confused... are they KOT or Phi Delta Kappa? Is this a specific chapter? It's definitely not in NY though.
If you don't mind, can you PM me the name of the school (if you know it) and I'll try to do some research (I'm an alum of a local in NY and know people at different schools and other locals)

That's what I found. If you look further into the website, it states that KOT is a youth organization created by the members of Phi Delta Kappa.

It looks like a high school sorority that is sponsored by Phi Delta Kappa Sorority for teacher (which is different from the Phi Delta Kappa professional fraternity for teachers).

Which is weird because Phi Delta Kappa has a program called Xinos for girls and Kudos for boys, which is pretty close to a sorority and frat.

ETA: I should have refreshed sooner lol

They are still under "guidance". KOT (and the meaning makes sense members) is a professional collegiate sisterhood of young women in education majors. KOT provides its members more than what they can EVER learn in the classroom, in school and full preparation to enter the educational workforce. I would recommend KOT to young college woman dedicated and committed to the field of education.

That's all?

Why I am here on GC: (My people are destroyed for their lack of knowledge Hosea 4:6NIV)

[Mrs.Educated]

@DrPhil. I hope you are having a great day!

1. Why I am on GC:I was responding to the individuals who was seeking some clarity with their questions on my organization.

2. Hosea 4:6 is a scripture from the Bible. I like it because knowledge is empowering. It can relate to any aspect of life and not just GC

I know what Hosea 4:6 is. Did you register on Greekchat to give us knowledge?

[Mrs.Educated]

Hey there DrPhi. Thanks for writing back to get better clarification on what I said. I by no means I want to be misunderstood. The quotes in pt 1 & 2 are right, but just in case: there is nothing in between the lines of what I meant. I registered on GC to genuinely answer the questions and provide general knowledge related to my organization as a member. That's all.

I am new to GC, but if I wanted to answer a quick question in the general forum on GC related to college/career/academic advising I may since I advise thousands of college student every day as a campus administrator.

That is unfortunate.

[Mrs.Educated]

“That’s all” I mean not to cause drama, not to pick debates or tear people down. I just want to answer questions and provide advice to people if needed.
