About the chapter

The Gamma Pi chapter at Iowa State University was established on May 8, 1948. The members strive to uphold our values of personal excellence, intellectual curiosity, service, and leadership. These values represent the four points of the kite, the symbol of our sorority.

“Kappa Alpha Theta has given me the home away from home that I craved for when entering college. The members are some of the most authentic, kind, funny, and free-spirited people that I have ever met. Since the day I joined, each member has pushed me to be the best possible version of myself, encouraging me to reach for goals I didn't think was possible. Kappa Alpha Theta has helped me grow as a leader, a student, but most importantly helped me grow more confidence in myself. Theta did not only give me the tools needed to succeed at Iowa State, but it also gave me a second family and relationships that I know I will have for a lifetime. I will forever be grateful I thought Theta.”
Lali Montes, 2026 Chapter President
