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.

The Delta Eta Chapter was founded on November 11, 1932 by 22 brave and determined women.

Before they were granted acceptance into Kappa Kappa Gamma, they colonized under the name of Lambda Phi Lambda; they chose the hourglass as their symbol to represent the time (an eventual 13 years) that they waited. 

To this day, Delta Eta has initiated 2,449 women into the KKG sisterhood!
