The National Historian creates The Kadelphian four times a year and a monthly travel log/bulletin is prepared by our National Corresponding Secretary. Our National Convention is held in June for the purpose of electing National Officers, conducting business affecting all chapters, and of course establishing and renewing friendships. Its location is determined by bids received from individual chapters two years prior to the event.

On the national level, Kappa Delta Phi awards scholarships to occupational therapy students. These are administered by the AOTF (Association of Occupational Therapy Foundation). For more information on applying for a scholarship through AOTF, please visit their website through this link - http://www.aotf.org/scholarshipsgrants/scholarshipprogram.aspx.
High on our list of priorities for civic work are children and the military.
