Since its founding over 100 years ago, Kappa Delta Sorority has empowered countless women to leave a lasting mark on the world around them. As well as participating in the philanthropy events held by the other organizations in the Greek community, Kappa Delta is proud to have four philanthropy projects- the most of any Panhellenic sorority.

Girls Scouts of the U.S.A.

Kappa Delta is the first and only National Panhellenic sorority to adopt the Girl Scouts as a national philanthropy.  Kappa Delta has encouraged women, college-age and beyond, to be their best selves...caring individuals, concerned citizens, and community leaders. For almost as long, Girl Scouts has fostered the same ideals in younger girls. Together preparing girls for college, for life, for all they hope to become.  As a chapter, we support a local troop by attending weekly meetings and participating in Girl Scout activities.

Prevent Child Abuse America (PCAA)

        Every spring, the Kappa Delta chapter holds Shamrock Event fundraisers which donate 80% to our local child abuse prevention agency the Hallelujah House ; and the remaining 20% is donated to National PCAA programs.  For the past nine years our chapter has sponsored a 5K Shamrock run to support this every important cause.  Our event always brings forth a lot of campus and community involvement throughout High Point.

Children’s Hospital in Richmond Virginia

        In 1921, Kappa Deltas in our founding state became interested in the fine work being done by a pioneer in treating polio victims. William Tate Graham, M.D., became renowned for his revolutionary approaches, and never turned away any patient for inability to pay. Beginning with the support of two beds in the fledgling clinic, Kappa Delta made a commitment to help. Now, more than 75 years later, Children’s Hospital treats all manner of children’s problems. Still no one is turned away for financial reasons. Kappa Delta’s support continues—donating the funds to build an operating room, develop a clinic, and buy a van to transport patients. The sorority is a primary sustaining supporter of the hospital, and Kappa Deltas serve on its boards.
