ΚΔΡ (Kappa Delta Rho) is an American college fraternity, with over 75 chapters spread out over the United States, although primarily in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic regions.

Kappa Delta Rho was founded in Painter Hall at Middlebury College on May 17, 1905. It formed out of the Middlebury Commons Club, and had ten principal founders: George E. Kimball, Irving T. Coates, John Beecher, Thomas H. Bartley, Pierce W. Darrow, Benjamin E. Farr, Gideon R. Norton, Gino A. Ratti, Chester M. Walch, and Roy D. Wood. On May 17, 1905, these ten men met as the charter members of Kappa Delta Rho.

Interestingly enough, the chapter at Middlebury is no longer a "fraternity," in the strict sense of the word. Fraternities were abolished on campus in 1990, and the chapter is now considered a "social house," and is coeducational.
