It was because of the desire to have a genuine circle of friends, all striving for the honorable
values in life, that the founders started Kappa delta at Longwood University in
Farmville, Virginia in 1897. The ideals of friendship, fellowship, and sisterly love have
remained constant and strong for more than 100 years, just as the founders envisioned in
the beginning.
Over 200,000 members strong nationwide, Kappa delta joins with other sororities, campus
organizations, university administrators, women’s groups and the community to make
great things happen in the lives of others. Through programs and events such as “Stand
Up! Stand Out!,” National Women’s Friendship day, and partnership with American Girl
in the Anti-Bullying Campaign, Kappa deltas around the country are motivated to make a
difference in the world.
Virginia Tech’s chapter of Kappa delta is now 30 years old and has certainly made its mark
on the university. Local members are actively involved in campus leadership, service to the
community, and giving back to the organization that has given them so much. The local
symbol is the woodstock, and the national symbols are the teddy bear, the dagger, and
the nautilus shell. Kappa delta’s jewels are the diamond, emerald, and pearl. Memphis,
Tennessee, hosts its headquarters.
Imagine being part of a group that gives you an overpowering feeling of welcome, and
love that you cannot describe. Imagine a circle of friendship based on the values of truth,
honor, and duty. Imagine a sisterhood that makes you a better person by encouraging you
to reach your full potential. Imagine laughter, tears, fun, and happiness. Imagine all of
this…imagine Kd.
