KAPPA DELTA :: SIGMA EPSILON

About KΔ

Nationally

Kappa Delta Sorority was founded on October 23, 1897 at State Female Normal School (now Longwood University) in Farmville, Virginia.

"A chilly rain splattered against the windowpanes of the little dormitory room on Professional Hall, the dormitory floor where most of the seniors lived. Saturday meant no classes, and the dreary weather that hung over Farmville was a perfect excuse for the four friends to tuck themselves away in that cozy spot and talk for hours..." It was that afternoon that Kappa Delta was born - October 23, 1897 - at the State Female Normal School in Farmville, Virginia.

Lenora Ashmore Blackiston, Mary Sommerville Sparks, Sara Turner White, and Julia Gardener Tyler Wilson were all women of vision. Due to their dedication, the ideals of friendship, sisterly love, and fellowship have remained strong for 112 years. Presently, Kappa Delta consist of more that 200,000 members. We make great things happen in people's lives, on campuses and in communities across the country.
