Kappa delta Rho fraternity was founded on
May 17, 1905 by 10 men at Middlebury
College in Middlebury, Vermont. These
10 men began their journey to establish a
new standard of excellence and something
different on the Middlebury campus. They
adopted the motto “Honor Super Omnia”
(Honor Above All Things) and their officers
took on Roman titles instead of Greek Republic
titles as other fraternities had. This was done not only to distinguish themselves from
the other fraternities but also to emulate the Romans’ stern virtues.
The Gamma Beta chapter at Virginia Tech is one of the newest fraternities on campus,
having re-chartered in March of 2009. The founders of the Virginia Tech chapter examined
fraternity life on campus and were not satisfied. Just as the original founders, they wanted
something different.
KdRs from around the country are impressed with the outstanding men of the Gamma Beta
chapter, and they have lent their support. This is a fraternity on the rise, striving to be the
best chapter on campus. Now is an incredible time to be a brother of KdR. Their youth as
a chapter allows them to determine their own destiny and build the fraternity in their vision.
This vision is clear: The brothers of Kappa delta Rho strive to place “Honor Above All
Things,” to be successful gentlemen in all walks of life, and to form relationships that will
enrich their future.
