A Bit of History

Kappa Kappa Gamma, commonly referred to as Kappa or KKG, is one of the oldest and most respected sororities in the country. Founded in 1870 by six women at Monmouth College in Monmouth, Illinois, Kappa has since grown to 131 chapters and has initiated over 200,000 women. The Kappa core ideals--friendship, leadership, and scholarship-- have remained constant over its 133 year existence.

Our Symbols

Kappa's colors are light blue and dark blue, which represent the sky and the sea, respectively (and look great together!). Kappa's symbols are the golden key, the fleur-de-lis, the owl, and the coat of arms. Kappas wear a golden key pin to signify their membership to KKG. The fleur-de-lis was chosen as Kappa's flower because it is considered to be a symbol of truth and sincerity, as well as combining light blue and dark blue. The owl is a bird of wisdom, as well as the bird of Minerva, who is the Roman Goddess of Wisdom and featured on the coat-of-arms. The coat-of-arms also includes depictures of the key, the owl, and the fleur-de-lis.
