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 Fraternity Mission Statement)
These standards are as important today as they were in 1870 when Kappa Kappa Gamma was founded by six pioneering young women at Monmouth College, Monmouth, Ill..
Kappa Kappa Gamma promotes, through its high standards, a broad college experience where scholarship and intellectual development are priorities, resulting in the impressive achievements of its members.
While in college, Kappa Kappa Gamma encourages members to seek opportunities for self-growth in a variety of interests within the chapter, campus and community.Kappa Kappa Gamma provides leadership opportunities and encourages the development of each member's leadership potential in a supportive environment.
Kappa Kappa Gamma members believe that philanthropy, or mutual helpfulness, is extremely important. Awareness of the needs of others is raised by participating in campus, community or chapter philanthropic activities that benefit the larger world.
