Kappa Kappa Gamma - Epsilon Gamma

Kappa Kappa Gamma was founded October 13, 1870, at Monmouth College, Monmouth, Illinois. Kappa is a women's fraternity - the word sorority was not coined until after our founding.

Kappa's six Founders were exceptional young women who believed they could take on the world and create something totally new. Taught to love learning and literature, these educated ladies not only originated the idea of Kappa Kappa Gamma but wrote its constitution, planned its motto and chose its badge and name.

The Kappa Kappa Gamma Foundation supports the operation of the Heritage Museum in Columbus, Ohio, and The Stewart House Museum in Monmouth, Illinois.
