Our New Member Program gets to the point. From day one, a new member knows she is a valuable, contributing member of the chapter. She is quickly integrated into the Kappa experience and feels invested in the chapter’s success and that of the community as a whole.
In order to ensure a solid foundation on which to build a lasting legacy, Kappa Kappa Gamma provides support to our new chapters over and above those that are firmly rooted on their campus. A Chapter Consultant – a trained young alumna who oversees all areas of chapter management and programming – is assigned to each new chapter for the first two years.

New chapters can also expect multiple visits from Leadership Consultants during key times throughout the academic
