Kappa Kappa Gamma

Nickname: Kappa, KKG

Delta Omicron Chapter was founded at Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa on May 18, 1946. We are a women’s organization thriving on tradition, leadership, academics and friendship. From participating in philanthropies that hit close to home to fun sisterhood activities, college is an opportunity to flourish and grow. Alone, each Kappa brings unique qualities to campus, but together we make a difference.

    Being a part of Kappa Kappa Gamma has profoundly shaped me as both an individual and a leader, embodying the essence of our motto "Live Boldly, Live Truly." Through my experiences within the sorority, I have been encouraged to embrace authenticity, challenge myself, and strive for excellence in all aspects of my life. The supportive and empowering environment fostered by Kappa Kappa Gamma has taught me the value of integrity, sisterhood, and leadership.
