Alumnae
Kappa Kappa Gamma is fortunate to have the most alumnae associations internationally. The fraternity now has over 300 active alumnae associations that participate and support many philanthropies and other chapter events.
At the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Kappa Kappa Gamma is supported by alumnae associations in Lincoln and Omaha. Sigma Chapter owes a lot of its success to the ladies who continue the tradition of loyalty after college graduation. In addition to the Lincoln and Omaha Alumnae Associations, Sigma chapter also has wonderful role models on the Advisory and House Boards. These boards were conceived to provide guidance to the officers on Chapter Council and also to maintain the beauty, architectural integrity and functionality of the physical Kappa Kappa Gamma house.
To contact the Lincoln Alumnae Association, please contact the Corresponding Secretary at (402) 436-6157.
Alumnae Events
Sigma Chapter stays in touch with the ladies who act as positive role models, and each year, the actives show appreciation for the support. With events like Boo & Boo, Christmas with the Alums, and the Alumnae Appreciation, Sigma Chapter gives back to the ladies who do so much for the house and the sisters who call it home. These events provide time for Kappa alumnae to get together, catch up and reconnect.
The alumnae support that Sigma Chapter receives year after year does not go unnoticed, and we love to show our gratitude. If you would like to get involved or tour the house, please contact the Public Relations chair at (402) 436-6157.
