Kappa Kappa Gamma, commonly referred to as Kappa or KKG, is one of the oldest and most respected sororities in the country.  Founded in 1870 by six women at Monmouth College in Monmouth, Illinois, Kappa has since grown to 131 chapters and has initiated over 200,000 women.  The Kappa core ideals--friendship, leadership, and scholarship. Kappa Kappa Gamma is an organization of women, which seeks for every member throughout her life bonds of friendship, mutual support, opportunities for self-growth, respect for intellectual development, and an understanding of and an allegiance to positive ethical principles.

Kappa Kappa Gamma's national philanthropy, Reading Is Fundamental, Inc. (RIF), is a non-profit organization that encourages children to begin reading by delivering free books to families who need them.  The sisters of the Beta Upsilon chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma hold an annual golf tournament each fall to raise money for our national philanthropy, Reading Is Fundamental.  In the fall of 2008, we raised over $3,000. With the help of sponsors in our community and the participants playing we surpassed our donation goal.   Philanthropy date: September 27, 2009 (Subject to change)
