Museum Description :Kappa Kappa Gamma (ΚΚΓ) ("Kappa") is a collegiate women's fraternity, founded at Monmouth College in Monmouth, Illinois, United States. Although the groundwork of the organization was developed as early as 1869, the 1876 Convention voted that October 13, 1870 should be recognized as the official Founders Day, because no earlier charter date could be determined. This makes Kappa Kappa Gamma one of the oldest extant women's Greek-letter societies. Kappa has a total membership of more than 260,000 women, with 140 collegiate chapters in the United States and Canada and 307 alumnae associations worldwide. Kappa Kappa Gamma is a women's fraternity, because it was founded before the term "sorority" came into use. Because men were able to create fraternity groups, Kappa's founders thought they should be able to do the same. However, since it admits only women, it is referred to as a sorority. Kappa Kappa Gamma is also referred to as "KKG" and "Kappa". Since 1870, Kappa Kappa Gamma has inspired self-growth in thousands of young women like you. As you begin to plan for your future and that of your loved ones, we hope you will consider remembering the Kappa Kappa Gamma Foundation in your long-term estate or financial plans. With a plan, you can make choices such as whether you want to benefit the Foundation today or after your lifetime, and there are often tax benefits for you. No matter what, you will be making a big difference to your sisters and the future strength of Kappa Kappa Gamma

Museum Program :Leadership ProgrammingIt’s Who We Are, It’s What We DoWe believe in providing women, not just Kappas, with opportunities for self-growth. Although our leadership programming started with Kappas through Leadership Academy, it has since grown to include younger women, too. Outdoor challenges, bonfires and sing-a-longs. Sounds like fun – doesn’t it? The collegians and alumnae who attend our annual Leadership Academy certainly think so, but that’s really not what Leadership Academy is about. It’s a place for our members to dream big, examine their innermost selves and learn principles of leadership that they can apply in their chapters, careers and communities. Kappas are keenly aware of a woman’s life experiences << View Less
