Today, Kappa Deltas are still guided by the vision of the sorority’s Founders developed more than 100 years ago. To them, the whole point of Kappa Delta was to help women become their best selves through the power of friendship. Personal and group excellence is still Kappa Delta’s theme. Collectively, every Kappa Delta chapter and alumnae chapter is expected to focus its energies and efforts on achieving and maintaining a positive reputation on its campus or in its community. This is the underlying premise for Chapter Excellence, Kappa Delta’s map for success.
What are the five areas of concentration that make up Chapter Excellence? |

Preparing our members for community service, active leadership, and responsible citizenship
In 1921, Kappa Delta adopted its first national philanthropy, the Children’s Hospital in Richmond, Virginia, establishing the idea that an altruistic endeavor was a manifestation of the Sorority’s highest ideals. Twenty-nine years later, Kappa Delta established the Kappa Delta Orthopaedic Research Awards recognizing outstanding research in orthopaedics. These first two philanthropies were reflective of the times when the threat of polio was a societal issue. As times and issues changed, Kappa Delta shifted its philanthropic emphasis to reflect the needs of the community. To this day, Kappa Delta holds its philanthropic work in the highest regard. |
