Kappa Kappa Gamma is an organization of women, which seeks for every member throughout her life bonds of friendship, mutual support, opportunities for self-growth, respect for intellectual development, and an understanding of and an allegiance to positive ethical principles.

These standards are as important today as they were in 1870 when Kappa Kappa Gamma was founded by six pioneering young women at Monmouth College, Monmouth, Illinois.

Kappa Kappa Gamma promotes, through its high standards, a broad college experience where scholarship and intellectual development are priorities, resulting in the impressive achievements of its members.

Personal growth and leadership are important as well. Kappa Kappa Gamma encourages members to seek opportunities for self-growth in a variety of interests within the chapter, campus and community. Kappa Kappa Gamma also provides leadership opportunities in a mutually supportive environment.

Kappa Kappa Gamma members believe that philanthropy, or mutual helpfulness, is highly significant. Awareness of the needs of others is raised by participating in campus and community philanthropy events or raising money for the Kappa Kappa Gamma Foundation.
