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.
Zeta Beta Philanthropy
Kappa Delta has the wonderful opportunity to serve the local Jackson community through our two philanthropies: Prevent Child Abuse America and Girl Scouts of the USA. Our chapter holds Shamrock weeks each fall and spring semester to raise money for Prevent Child Abuse America. We are fortunate to be able to give 80% of our proceeds to a local PCAA organization, the Carl Perkins Center, and the remaining 20% to National PCAA. Kappa Delta works alongside local Girl Scouts Heart of the South troops to empower confidence in these young girls by earning badges and selling Girl Scout cookies. Our chapter has helped to raise $2,370 selling cookies with the local troop just this spring!
