Kappa Delta Philanthropy

Kappa Deltas are inspired to act. Kappa Delta makes a difference not only in its members’ lives, but also in the lives of women and children around the world. We take great pride in our efforts to strengthen community service initiatives that build confidence in those around us.

Helping build girls of courage, confidence and character.

In 1998, Kappa Delta Sorority welcomed Girl Scouts of the USA as one of its national philanthropies. Through this incredible partnership, Kappa Delta members make a difference in more than 14,000 girls each year across the country. Kappa Delta is proud to help Girl Scouts “build girls of courage, confidence and character who make the world a better place.” Kappa Deltas serve as mentors and volunteers, reinforcing our common values of honesty, integrity, friendship and leadership. Collegiate and alumnae chapters host confidence-building programs, educational events, campus tours and other activities with Girl Scouts in their communities. Further, the Kappa Delta Foundation contributes annually to the Girl Scout Gold Award program, providing scholarships to Gold Award Girl Scouts, the highest recognition in Girl Scouting.

Help prevent child abuse.

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 more than $29 million to 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. Golf and softball tournaments, fun runs, chili cook-offs, war-of-the wings contests, spaghetti dinners, silent auctions, fashion shows and paintball tournaments are just a few of the fundraisers held by collegiate and alumnae chapters. We encourage you to participate in local Shamrock events to join Kappa Delta in strengthening families and improving the lives of children because there’s nothing that destroys a child’s confidence more than abuse.

Beta Pi Philanthropy

At Beta Pi, we host two main philanthropies each year: a dodgeball tournament in the Fall, as well as our traditional paintball tournament in the Spring. Each of these main events are coupled with smaller fundraisers such as pancake breakfasts and cookouts. We absolutely love bringing our community together to support such an incredible cause! The majority of the funds raised go back directly to our community to the Child Advocacy Center of Gainesville. The remaining 20 percent of these funds goes to Prevent Child Abuse America. As we work with the CAC throughout the year, we are constantly shown the significant impact our contributions make on the lives of the many children that they serve. To us, there is nothing more inspiring and rewarding!We are so proud and humbled to have been able to contribute over $100,000 to the Child Advocacy Center of Gainesville since 2010! We are so blessed to have the opportunity to give back to our community and to help ensure that children experience happy, healthy childhoods.
