National Philanthropies


  • Girl Scouts of the USA

    In 1998, Kappa Delta Sorority welcomed Girl Scouts of the USA as one of its national philanthropies. Through this one-of-a-kind partnership, Kappa Delta members are making great things happen in the lives of countless girls across the country.

    Kappa Delta collegians and alumnae serve as mentors and volunteers, reinforcing our common values of honesty, integrity, friendship and leadership. Collegiate and alumnae chapters serve Girl Scouts in their area by hosting Dove uniquely ME! events, National Girls Day celebrations and other activities such as campus tours, community service projects and sporting events. Girl Scouts who take part in Kappa Delta-sponsored events earn a special Kappa Delta badge.

    Beta Upsilon hosts Pumpkin Painting Parties for the young girl scouts in the fall along with Sunday afternoon movies & cupcake baking.

    Prevent Child Abuse America, Shamrock Event

    Since 1981, Kappa Delta has been a proud supporter of Prevent Child Abuse America, an organization founded by the late Donna Stone, one of our own Kappa Delta sisters. To date, Kappa Delta has donated over $7.1 million to help prevent child abuse in our country.


    Thousands of KDs in hundreds of communities nationwide host "Shamrock Events" every year to raise money for national and local child abuse prevention efforts. Events are as varied and creative as the groups that sponsor them. Beta Upsilon has held events like basketball tournaments and fashion shows in the past. Recently, the chapter has found success in an annual wing eating contest to benefit Prevent Child Abuse America. The contest asks members from all Greek and Non-Greek organizations to participate and also reaches out to the community for donations for a silent auction.
