Kappa Kappa Gamma
When Kappa Kappa Gamma was founded at Illinois’ Monmouth College, the blues
of the sky and the sea were chosen to represent their sisterhood. Since October 13,
1870, members of Kappa Kappa Gamma have worked to improve upon the principles
that the six founding sisters set before them.
The fraternity badge is a golden key one inch in length, plain or jeweled, with the
Greek letters Kappa Kappa Gamma on the stem and the letters Alpha Omega Omicron
on the ward. Minerva with her owl is the patron goddess of Kappa Kappa Gamma. The
coat of arms also incorporates the various fraternity symbols. The Delta Upsilon
chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma was founded on February 14, 1948 at UGA.
Last year, the Kappas hosted their annual crawfish boil to raise more than $28,000
for The Common Ground Collective, which benefits Hurricane Katrina victims, and
St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital. Kappa women are at home here, but their roots are in as
many places ranging from Texas to West Virginia! Members of Kappa are involved in a
variety of activities and various student organizations on campus. Nationally, Kappa
has grown to include 132 chapters and approximately 200,000 initiates.
Kappa Kappa Gamma wants every member
throughout life to seek bonds of friendship, mutual
support, opportunity for self growth, respect for
intellectual development and an understanding and
allegiance to positive ethical principals.
