I'm so excited that your daughter pledged a house that it sounds like is perfect for her and she loves!
What a fun 4 years she has ahead of her! (And even more as an alumna!)
Being a part of Kappa Delta was one of the highlights of my college... and it didn't stop there. I'm so proud of my sorority and the incredible, strong woman's organization it is.
Since 1981, KDs have raised and donated over $18 million for the prevention of child abuse. Last spring, my chapter alone raised over $50,000 in a single event called Mock Rock (air band competition) for a local women's and children's shelter. Every single dime went to that shelter.
In 2015-16 alone, we gave over 80 collegiate scholarships totaling almost $200,000.
in 1998 KD adopted Girl Scouts of America as one of our philanthropies and each year many young girls are mentored by collegiate all over the country... including this year my 8-year old niece who lives 1,000 miles from me will have an amazing connection with a new 'friend' in Kappa Delta.
In 2009, KD created "International Girls Day", which is observed around Nov 14. This day celebrates girls of all races, religions, interests and abilities with "She Can Do Anything". (usually hosting over 5,000 girls across the country at our various houses for a day a fun).
In 2006, KD joined with the Dove Campaign to open discussions about women and definitions of beautiful.
We've raised over $1.1 million dollars for grants for surgeons in the American Association of Orthopedic Surgeons.
Kappa Delta has strict grade policies and you must maintain a decent GPA or risk your membership. There are many programs put in place to help girls excel in their studies.
This is a small example of the incredible work that dedicated women do while in college when they join a sorority.
And this is just one... there are 25 other just as amazing organizations in the the Panhellenic Council.
I know lots of you think ill of sororities... and I won't deny that Recruitment Week/Rush Week can be brutal... but I can assure you, there so much more to each organization!
