The Lambda Chapter of Kappa Delta Rho at UC Berkeley
Honor Super Omnia
The Motto of Kappa Delta Rho is "Honor Super Omnia", and translated, it means Honor Above All Things. While this may seem like a heady concept, realistically it means that KDR encourages her members to be honorable men, to strive for the highest level of personal integrity, and to treat others with respect.
KDR is a social fraternity, and as such is an organization dedicated to developing the social skills of her members. By combining the principles of leadership, brotherhood, cooperation, and service that men learn while in KDR with the world-class education at Cal, men leave college well-rounded and well prepared for life. We believe men are enriched by the experience of fraternity, and believe that membership in a fraternity helps to maximize the education and personal growth realized during college years.
To that end, all members of Kappa Delta Rho are encouraged to put their studies first, to take positions of leadership in Kappa Delta Rho, to take part in other student groups or activities, and to follow the Precepts of Kappa Delta Rho:
As a Brother of the National Fraternity of Kappa Delta Rho, I have but one aim: to lead an honorable life.
To this end, I am bound by my words and actions to:
Honor Super Omnia!
