Chapter History

You have to know where you’ve been to know where you are going. Kappa holds a special place in its heart for Fraternity history, but every chapter of our organization has unique beginnings of its own. Each plays a part in shaping us today. Read more about our chapters’ histories in Kappa's digital archives.

Kappa Psi Delta was a local chapter founded in 1998 that spent 13 years at NYU. In April 2011, the women of KPsiD decided to affiliate with Kappa Kappa Gamma. On November 5th, 2011, our chapter was installed as KKG’s 138th chapter and 20 active members were initiated to become the Eta Pi charter class. In the six years since our installation, we have grown to be an organization of over 160 women.

In the last 6 years, we have had sisters involved in every level of Fraternity and Sorority Life, including the Inter-Greek and Panhellenic Councils. At the annual FSL Awards, Kappa Kappa Gamma has won...
