In spring 2013 KDR earned a 3 star [[ALPHA Standards of Excellence]] rating.

In [[2010]] the chapter was awarded the '''Most Improved Chapter''' award by the [[Inter-Greek Council]].

==Service & Philanthropy== 
Kappa Delta Rho’s Nu Alpha chapter focuses its philanthropic efforts on supporting Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF).  ALSF is an American pediatric cancer charity founded by Alexander “Alex” Scott. Alexandra Flynn “Alex” Scott was born on January 18, 1996 in Manchester, Connecticut. She was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, a pediatric cancer, two days before her first birthday. 

==About KDR at Coumbia==
KDR's Nu Alpha chapter at Columbia was founded on May, 1 [[1982]]. 

The chapter is currently housed at 548 W. 114th St. 

It is known colloquially as the "basketball frat"  because of the [[Basketball Team (Men's)|basketball]] team's membership in the house. Not all basketball players are brothers and roughly half of the brothers are not on the basketball team. 

Recently its membership has diversified to include members of the [[:Varisty teams|varsity]] [[golf]], [[tennis]], [[football]], [[baseball]], [[fencing]] and [[track]] teams as well as club athletes in [[rugby]] and [[sailing]]. The chapter is "known on campus for their large dance parties and the predominately female-athlete crowd that their events attract." 

Most recently, KDR came under heat when [[Bwog]] released screenshots of Varsity Wrestlers, who were members of KDR, making racist, sexist, and generally degrading comments in a Columbia Wrestling GroupMe. A protest erupted outside their house, and a resident of the [[Intercultural Resource Center]] hung a sign reading "White Supremacy Lives Here" from their roof. Rumor has it that a Beta brother snatched the sign during the night.
