I know that sometimes Alpha Gamma Delta, Alpha Xi Delta, Alpha Gamma Rho (yea I know it's a male fraternity) get mixed up. My vote would be to go for another combination than KGD.
I would have to disagree with that logic. If the meaning behind the letters Kappa Gamma Delta is what you are standing for then go for it! If people get it confused with other groups it will happen no matter what letters you choose. A good friend of mine (a Kappa Delta) thought that I was in Alpha Delta Pi for weeks before she saw my license plate bracket that says Alpha OMICRON Pi (and I have been wearing letter sweatshirts, etc). People misreading letters willhappen no matter what and so you need to decide on letters that represent what you stand for, not appearances (side note: the local I was a member of chose the letters because of the first two founders' names and the third letter was decided on because it was more asthetically pleasing than another!).

Did the founders of Alpha Gamma Delta consider no choosing those letters because they might be confused with Alpha Xi Delta?
