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.
Alpha Sigma Philanthropy
As a chapter, we pride ourselves on our community service and philanthropic initiatives. We work with local Girl Scout troops in the greater Durham area to host fun and educational events. We host a Galentine's craft day, cookie sales near the MUB, movie nights, and more. In regards to philanthropy, Prevent Child Abuse America, 80% of the proceeds raised are donated to the New Hampshire Children's Trust, which is our local chapter of PCAA helping the surrounding community in New Hampshire. The other 20% is sent to the National PCAA organization for a wider distribution. In the Spring, the Alpha Sigma chapter holds our annual Shamrock Month. The month of March is filled with weekly fundraising events, including Shamrock Shakes, Pancakes for Prevention, and a week-long calendar raffle! Our members are heavily dedicated to make an impact both locally and nationally using our resources and community as a foundation.
