The KU and KSU Kappas should not have been horrified. They're forgetting some of their most important Fraternity history.
KKG was born on October 13, 1870, when six women wearing Golden Keys
in their hair boldly marched into chapel at Monmouth University.
In that spirit, to this day there are no rules in Kappa's Constitution that discuss the wearing of the badge, save that the badge is for initiates only. As one of my chapter sisters jokes, "We could wear our badges on our @$$es if we wanted to!"
But out of respect for our Key and our oath, we do not.
