Organization Facts
Kappa Delta was founded on October 23, 1897 at State Female Normal School (now Longwood University) by Lenora Ashmore, Mary Sommerville Sparks, Julia Gardiner Tyler and Sara Turner. These women envisioned an organization based on the ideals of friendship, fellowship and sisterly love. In 1912, Kappa Delta was the only sorority to become a member of the National Panhellenic Council immediately upon petition. Our founding chapter relinquished its charter when NPC required all chapters to be at four year institutions. When the school became Longwood University, a four-year institute, the chapter was able to recolonize.
The object of Kappa Delta Sorority is the formation and perpetuation of good fellowship, friendship and sisterly love; the encouragement of literature and education; the promotion of social interest; and the furtherance of charitable and benevolent purposes.
Kappa Delta Sorority Vision:
Kappa Delta Sorority is committed to providing opportunities and experiences that inspire women to greatness.
Kappa Delta Sorority Mission Statement:

Inspiring our members to reach their full potential; Preparing our members for community service, active leadership and responsible citizenship; Creating opportunities for lifetime involvement through innovative and responsive programs, and strategic collaborations and partnerships; and Fostering the development of our time-honored values within the context of friendship.
