Kappa Delta Philanthropy
Kappa Deltas are inspired to act. Kappa Delta makes a difference not only in its members’ lives, but also in the lives of women and children around the world. We take great pride in our efforts to strengthen community service initiatives that build confidence in those around us.
HELPING BUILD GIRLS OF COURAGE, CONFIDENCE AND CHARACTER.
In 1998, Kappa Delta Sorority welcomed Girl Scouts of the USA as one of its national philanthropies. Through this incredible partnership, Kappa Delta members make a difference with more than 14,000 girls each year across the country. Kappa Delta is proud to help Girl Scouts “build girls of courage, confidence and character who make the world a better place.” Kappa Deltas serve as mentors and volunteers, reinforcing our common values of honesty, integrity, friendship and leadership. Collegiate and alumnae chapters host confidence-building programs, educational events, campus tours and other activities with Girl Scouts in their communities.
HELP PREVENT CHILD ABUSE.
Since 1981, Kappa Delta has been a proud supporter of Prevent Child Abuse America, an organization founded by the late Donna Stone, one of our own Kappa Delta sisters. To date, Kappa Delta has donated more than $35 million to prevent child abuse in our country. Thousands of KDs in hundreds of communities nationwide host Shamrock events every year to raise money for national and local child abuse prevention efforts. Kappa Delta is committed to helping strengthen families and improving the lives of children because there’s nothing that destroys a child’s confidence more than abuse.
Theta Alpha Philanthropy
Theta Alpha is fortunate enough to also have a local philanthropy that we donate our money and time to. Located ten minutes from Quinnipiac’s main campus, The Children’s Center of Hamden serves as a safe haven for kids in our community. It is a behavioral health organization for children who come from troubled homes. They offer various programs that support in a wide range of areas. Each year a representative from the children’s center comes to speak to our chapter; They share updates from the Center and also ask us for ideas on where we want our fundraising money to go. In recent years we were able to fund a new playground, a greenhouse and a brand new kitchen. We are so grateful to be able to see the impact of our fundraising and are excited to continue to grow our bond with such an amazing facility.
This past year we were able to raise $19,281.87 for Prevent Child Abuse America!
