I love Thetas, in fact I married one While the Theta chapter on my campus (Auburn University) experienced a rapid and unfortunate decline in membership in the late 1990's and regretfully was closed due to lack of numbers, they were always one of my favorite chapters. The ladies were all unique individuals; and while EVERY chapter on campus has its share of great ladies, the girls in Theta were always among the nicest and most down to earth. My fraternity little sister was a Theta and the first date my lovely wife and I went on was her freshman formal to Stone Mountain, Ga. While I can't speak for all Theta chapters or their reputation nationwide, I can certainly tell you that among all the GLOs, next to my fraternity, Theta holds the fondest memories for me and I wish each and every one of their chapters continued sucess.

There used to be Kappa Alpha Theta at UBC, but alas, they closed their chapter in 1980!

I knew a KAT from University of Western Ontario and she is great!

Here is some interesting trivia for you...the FIRST EVER sorority chapter established in Canada was (you guessed it!) Kappa Alpha Theta, at U of Toronto - Sigma (1887-1941). Unfortunately, that chapter is now closed. (I believe that the oldest Canadian NPC chapter is Alpha Phi at U of Toronto, Xi Chapter, 1906).

I only know one KAT personally, but she is great, and I've heard very good things about KAT and that is a well regarded and respected sorority!

Here's the overall KAT presence in Canada...
Operating Chapters:
University of Alberta - Beta Chi, 1931
University of Western Ontario - Gamma Epsilon, 1937
McGill - Beta Psi, 1932

Inactive Chapters:
UBC - Beta Epsilon (1980-1980)
U of Toronto - Sigma (1887-1941)
U of Guelph - Epsilon Chi (1987-1998)

The Thetas at the university of missouri are known for being overachievers. They always get first in grades and first in sports. They always place high in competitions, in fact with the men in farmhouse they won all the categories of homecoming (a huge deal at mizzou) except a second place finish in flout. They are a good group of girls who are wel respected but known for being kinda perfectionists and a lil too focused on winning and grades than having fun, but when you get to know them you see they know how to have fun and get stuff done.

I was so glad to read all about Thetas since I just finished pledging.
Theta love to all my new sisters!!!

There's no Kappa Alpha Theta at my campus...

But I was working on the school's TV News show (anchoring) and there was a package (story) about a newly upgraded community pool.

The lifegaurd they interviewed was wearing a Kappa Alpha Theta cap.. Closest chapter I'm aware of is at Tulsa... Not sure if you're at Oklahoma or OK State.

I hate to say it, but my memories of Theta are not exactly fantastic. There were a coupld of sweeties in there, i remember the President being a great girl and a wonderful greek and i'm sure she still is. But, we did Greek Week with them, and well, to have only 10 girls out of a house of about 80 show up to events was pretty apathetic. Kind of tarnished my image of their pride in their letters by their lack of drive but, they might be different now. Then again, that was only last semester. Definetly not a bad house, like I said, some girls were awesome, but, I really thought they would hold themselves to a higher standard.

i am a theta at syracuse university and i can't help but be upset by what was previously said by this poster. i understand that everyone is entitled to their opinions and it was your assesment of one experience (operative word here being one), but to say that we have a "lack of drive" because we didn't have a good turn-out in some activities during greek week and then to go insult us further by assuming that because of this we don't have any pride in our letters? that couldn't be more ridiculous or anymore true. i know my sisters extremely well and speaking from experience, everyone in theta loves our house and we are very dedicated to it. it is not fair and ignorant to judge us from one negative experience that you had. i remember some of the events of greek week and i recall that not everyone from PKT showed up to every event either, but we did not judge the members of your house to have a lack of motivation or pride, and we wouldn't judge you from knowing so little about you. knowing a couple of sisters does not make you equipped to make an assumption about the whole house. believe me, every one of those girls in that house has very high standards, adheres to those standards, and i'm proud to be sisters with every single one of them, and i don't think that not attending broom ball during greek week goes against or tarnishes any of those standards.

but in keeping with the vein of what this thread was originally intended for and on a more positive note : i love theta very much here. it is a wonderful house, the girls are so amazing that no matter how i try to attempt to describe them, it wouldn't do them justice, and pledging this house was one of the best things that i've done so far in college. theta has a great reputation at syracuse and although, it's far from perfect, it's pretty damn close to me .
