Founded October 23, 1897

Banding together with Greek letters as their symbols, four young women kindled a Revolution of Friendship which would grow to enlist thousands of women from across the country. They didn't call it a revolution, and they didn't envision the magnitude of their rainy afternoon meeting. Nevertheless, one girl's suggestion to form a common friendship bond gained the excited approval of others and a movement was begun.

The movement was the birth of Virginia's first sorority, known today as Kappa Delta.

Kappa Delta Sorority was Founded on October 23, 1897 at State Female Normal School (now Longwood College) in Richmond, Virginia.

The Kappa Delta Creed

May we, sisters in Kappa Delta,
Strive each day to seek more earnestly the honorable and beautiful things.

May we each day through love of those within our circle
Learn to know and understand better those without our circle.

May the diamond shield that guards our love find us each day
Truer, Wiser, More Faithful, More Loving, and More Noble.
