KD History
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 Alpha Delta Chapter of Kappa Delta was chartered on April 4, 1925. As of January 2008, Kappa Delta has 133 chartered chapters across the nation. With 504 chartered alumnae associations, Kappa Delta has the most of any NPC organization. Active chapter sizes range from 40 to 200 with approximately 10,000 collegiate members and over 190,000 alumni.
