" Kappa Delta is committed to providing opportunities and experiences that inspire women to greatness."

Heritage:    KD was founded in 1897 at the Female Normal State School in Farmville , VA. It was because of the beautiful friendship of Lenora Ashmore, Mary Sommerville Sparks, Julia Gardiner Tyler, and Sara Turner that Kappa Delta began. And today, the ideals of friendship, fellowship, and sisterly love have remained constant and strong for 105 years, just as our four founders envisioned it in the beginning.
