Hello, valence:
I, like Gina, am also a Kappa--I graduated a few years ago, and am now an advisor at the local Kappa chapter.
As Gina mentioned, Kappa Kappa Gamma was founded in 1870 at Monmouth College, which is also where Pi Beta Phi was founded.
The women who founded KKG banded together in order to share the finer feelings of the heart, and to band together as women and sisters. They sought a bond with other women in a world (that, at that time) was quite unfriendly to educated women.
KKG, as a National sorority presence, is a leader in anti-hazing programs. Currently, the National President of Panhellenic is a Kappa Kappa Gamma--so our alumnae are quite active in seeing that Kappa remains ever strong and holds to the values of love, truth, and friendship that first founded it.
All chapters are different, but as schmucky wisely pointed out, all chapters will have the same goals and ideals that they follow.
Clearly, I love Kappa and am dedicated to it, but let me just say that KAO and DG are fine, fine sororities as well. I don't know what college you attend, but in my Panhellenic experience, you couldn't go wrong with any of them.
Best of luck to you. I hope your Greek experience will be everything you want it to be!
Panhellenically,
imsohappythatiama

Nobody knows . . . how
happy I am!
