Kappa's symbols — the golden key, the
fleur-de-lis and the coat of arms — represent something much deeper,
which is friendship rooted in a tradition of high standards.
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 131 collegiate chapters and over 330
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 standards also include an
expectation of high personal ethics and a commitment to the campus
community and the larger world. Too, gentle civility is underscored
for we recognize that there is much to be learned from being with
others whether in class, attending a social event or in preparation
for a joint philanthropy project.
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.
