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.

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

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.
