Kappa Kappa Gamma Gifts

Kappa Kappa Gamma (ΚΚΓ) is a collegiate women's fraternity, founded at Monmouth College, in Monmouth, Illinois, USA. Although the groundwork of the organization was developed as early as 1869, the 1876 Convention voted on October 13, 1870 as Founders Day, because no earlier charter date could be determined. This makes Kappa Kappa Gamma one of the oldest women's Greek-letter societies in existence today. Kappa Kappa Gamma is one of the largest fraternities for women in America. Currently, there are 137 chapters in both the United States and Canada. There are approximately 300 alumnae associations around the world. Since its founding in 1870, over 230,000 members have been initiated into Kappa Kappa Gamma.Kappa Kappa Gamma is a women's fraternity, because it was founded before the term 'sorority' came into use. However, because it admits only women, it is usually referred to as a sorority. Kappa Kappa Gamma is also referred to as "KKG" and "Kappa." Melinda Marye-Kelley was initiated into the fraternity at the Beta Xi Chapter at The University of Texas.
