KAPPA DELTA FOUNDERS DAY OF GIVING
National Kappa Delta celebrated our 127th anniversary with the KD
Foundation's inaugural "Founders Day of Giving" on October 23.
An ambitious goal of $150,000 was set, broken, reset at $200,000
and broken with a final total of $300,505! That money will provide
more scholarships for our collegians and alumnae.
With 192 collegiate chapters (active and dormant) participating in
the chapter challenge, Kappa Alpha was ninth, raising $8,143 with
27 members donating. Good and generous work, sisters!
