History

  • History
    Kappa Kappa Gamma Fraternity was founded on October 13, 1870 at Monmouth College in Monmouth, Illinois.

    Kappa's six Founders were exceptional young women who believed they could take on the world and create something totally new. Taught to love learning and literature, these educated ladies not only originated the idea of Kappa Kappa Gamma but also wrote its constitution, planned its motto and chose its badge and name.
     
     
     
     
 

  • More than 250,000 Kappas have been initiated since our founding at Monmouth College in Monmouth, Illinois, on October 13, 1870, by six pioneering women.

     

    Kappa is a women's fraternity - the word sorority was not coined until after our founding.
