Some interesting Kappa Delta facts:

~We are the first sorority founded out of the Farmville Four

~The first organization to be granted membership into the NPC immediately upn petition, and the first one granted both entrance and representation at the same meeting. (Oct. 16, 1912)

~In order to join the NPC, our Alpha and Sigma chapters had to give up their charters, because they were at schools that were not 4 year "senior" institutions. The Alpha chapter was reinstated after the State Female Normal School became Longwood College (now Longwood University.)

~Kappa Delta has 482 chartered alumnae associations, the most of any NPC group.

~We also have 4 national philanthropies: Girl Scouts of the USA, Prevent Child Abuse America, Children's Hospital of Richmond, VA, and American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons Research Awards.

~We also have 2 official symbols: the dagger and nautilus shell; 2 mascots: the teddy bear and katydid; and correct me if I'm wrong, but we are the only sorority to have 3 official jewels: the diamond, emerald and pearl.
