Our Purpose

The purpose of Kappa Delta Sorority is to promote true friendship among the college girls of our country by inculcating into their hearts and lives those principles of truth, of honor, of duty, without which there can be no true friendship.
Our Creed

May we, Sisters in Kappa Delta,
strive each day to seek more earnestly
the honorable and beautiful things.

May we each day through love

guards our love find us each day
Truer, Wiser, More Faithful,
More Loving, and More Noble.
