Kappa Kappa Gamma
In 1870, Kappa Kappa Gamma, one of the largest and oldest national women's fraternities, was founded at Monmouth College in Monmouth, Illinois to foster intellectual and social development and to encourage lasting friendships among college women. Today, this tradition continues at Yale with the Zeta Xi chapter, installed in 1987. Kappas are to be found leading and participating in many organizations on campus, including dance groups, varsity and club sports, outreach organizations and political parties. We take pride in the wide range of accomplishments, talents and experiences of our sisters. We are proud to say that Zeta Xi has been awarded the Kappa Chapter with the highest GPA. Within Kappa, our activities include social events such as formals, Krush parties and Kappacalypse, as well as sisterhood bonding events like retreats, "owl" dates with other sisters, and Family Day.
Kappa is also dedicated to community service. Our national philanthropy project is Reading is Fundamental, and Kappas at Yale have volunteered at the New Haven Book Bank for several years. Additionally, we volunteer at a soup kitchen on a weekly basis, as well as form teams for AIDS Walk and Relay for Life. Our Yale chapter is fortunate to have the support of a strong network of local alumnae, and participates actively in national Kappa conventions and events. The chapter also has a house on Park Street, which is the home of eight sisters. It provides a cozy and inviting venue for all Kappa sisters to get together for meetings, social activities, or just to hang out and study or watch a movie. Cooking is a common activity, since we have two kitchens! We look forward to meeting you, and hope that you will join us in the lifelong bonds of sisterhood!
