RSO - Kappa Kappa Gamma

These standards are as important today as they were in 1870 when Kappa Kappa Gamma was founded by six young women at Monmouth College, Monmouth, Illinois. Since that time, Kappa has grown to 140 collegiate chapters and 307 alumnae associations worldwide.

Kappa promotes, through its standards, a broad college experience. Scholarship or intellectual development is our first priority, and the impressive achievements of our members attest to this. In Kappa,scholarship programs provide an atmosphere for academic accomplishment emphasizing that each member attain her personal academic best.

Cultural growth is important as well. Kappa Kappa Gamma encourages members to seek opportunities for self-growth in a variety of interests in the chapter, campus, and in the community. Kappa Kappa Gamma also provides leadership opportunities in a mutually supportive environment.

Kappa members believe that philanthropy or mutual helpfulness is of significant importance. Awareness of the needs of others is raised by participating in campus philanthropy events, by quiet moments of companionship with nursing home residents or raising dollars for the Kappa Kappa Gamma Foundation.

Kappa is proud of its programs of consequence, its high standards and adherence to ethical principles, and of its countless members whose accomplishments have provided a better life for others.

Kappa Kappa Gamma at its core is friendship, leadership and scholarship...an opportunity and experience for a lifetime.
