Now THAT is girl power.

KD has a creed and an open motto and a purpose and an object and a mission statement. (Whew!) My favorite line from the creed is " May we each day through love of those within our circle, learn to know and understand better those without our circle."
My experience as a collegian was really a broadening experience for me. I met and learned to love a whole group of women that I wouldn't have been friends with, except for Kappa Delta. A couple of the sisters in my chapter were in ROTC. I was sort of a hippy. Other sisters were on the college softball team or in cross-country and track. I was in theater and on the college paper. I would not have become friends with most of them, except for Kappa Delta. They were some of my favorite people in college. I count myself lucky to have known them. They're all long past college and raising families of their own and having careers and I still count myself lucky to have known such fabulous women.
