About the chapter

Kappa Delta women strive to be an active member on campus and throughout our community. Above all else, Kappa Delta strives to inspire confidence in young women, and we do so through our community service work with our local Girl Scout troop.

“Friendship between women is a powerful force. Women supporting women has never been more important. It helps us grow, chase our dreams, and excel in college and beyond. Kappa Delta has been a transformative aspect of my life and college career, and I couldn't be more thankful to have joined this chapter. We focus not only on leadership and academic success but also on empowering girls and women to believe in themselves. Our sisterhood is all about lifting each other up and making a positive impact, which truly makes Kappa Delta special!”

Zoey Lohse, 2025 Chapter President
