Pi Kappa Delta (ΠΚΔ) is a national collegiate organization and honor society for intercollegiate debaters, public speakers, and instructors teaching speech, debate, and oral communication in the United States.[1] Established in 1913, the organization is the oldest debating society in the country.[2][3] PKD has influenced the formation of the National Forensic League, the emergence of national forensic tournaments, and the development of new formats for debate.[1]

The society encourages the education of articulate citizens through a three part focus: the commitment to and promotion of ethical, humane and inclusive communication and educational practices; the commitment to and promotion of professional development of forensics educators; and the commitment to and promotion of comprehensive forensics programming. More than 60,000 men and women have been initiated into PKD. Active chapters are located on more than 200 college and university campuses. Schools in PKD range in size from some of the largest universities to some of the smaller liberal arts colleges, teaching colleges, and church related colleges.
