Kappa Beta Gamma/Kappa Delta

Kappa Delta is colonizing at Franklin and Marshall College...does anyone know if they are simply taking over Kappa Beta Gamma? There was rumor that they wanted to associate with an NPC. Congrats to KayDee on a new chapter!

They are absorbing the KBG chapter which sought NPC affiliation.

Congrats to Kappa Delta!

However, it seems like KBG is getting smaller! I wonder if the remaining chapters will be absorbed by an NPC national?

The Franklin Marshall chapter of Kappa Delta was installed this past week-end.

It was a beautiful ceremony and banquet. One of the initiate's mother's is a KD and so she came in to pin her daughter with her gorgeous diamond, emerald, and pearl badge!

ta kala, how many ladies were initiated? Was it just the members of KBG or were others as well? I understand Ripon is next weekend.

I'm sure I'll get flamed for saying this...

But, does anyone else see a problem with this? The Franklin & Marshall chapter of KBG is only a few years old-excuse me, was only a few years old. And, they disaffiliated from the their national, which, I mean, is a small sorority, but still--only to affiliate with Kappa Delta.

And, this is the second chapter to do so--the first affiliated with KKG.

I just find it disrespect of the founders, rituals, vows....everything for KBG. What kind of loyalty does that breed for those newest members of Kappa Delta? And, what does that show for Kappa Delta?

It's been said on here before, by 33girl and I'll say it again. Just because your vows aren't to an NPC sorority doesn't make them disposable.

Yeah, I see a problem with this...but then again, my mom's a KBG alum from the LUC Chapter which affilated with KKG last year. To me if you pledge your loyalty to a sisterhood then drop it to join a bigger one....well, how loyal are you, really?

FWIW, I will say I believe the ladies at F&M were more honest about looking to join an NPC chapter than their former LUC sisters. From what I've heard, the F&M KBG sisters told their nationals they were looking to affilate elsewhere before it happened. They kept everything above-board and honorable, and I'm sure they'll be a fantastic addition to the KD sisterhood. The LUC KBG chapter (which, by the way, was over 40 years old) didn't clue their National in to the fact that they were trying to leave until after the fact. That's not right.

If BootyKBG is still around, I'm sure she'll have a lot more first-hand info about this, and I, for one, would be interested in her thoughts on this.

Let's remember that the F&M girls did ask permission from KBG to be released, as opposed to the LUC group. I doubt they would have wanted to go through with it if they hadn't gotten KBG's approval (considering the bit of a mess that was caused with the LUC chapter).

I also would be interested in any KBG's thoughts about this and how they as a national are handling this (like are they upset, etc). I also wonder if they are looking at this and wondering why it is that their chapters are becoming interested in other orgs (and maybe looking into it).

Yes, I do agree and am glad that at least they had enough dignity to admit that they were seeking NPC affiliation.

The bigger issue I see with it is the loyalty of those sisters that were just initiated. They have not proven any sort of loyalty to KBG by doing what they did. If being apart of a large, well established NPC chapter was important to you, why didn't you join an NPC in the first place? What kind of loyalty will they have to KD? I hate when women join chapters just to disaffiliate later and I guess the bigger issue I see is KD assisting the chapter in their endeavors.

Initiation is initiation no matter if it's NPC and I'll always have respect for that.

I'm fairly sure that KD made sure that they had been released by KBG before they moved forward with the process. I doubt they would've without it. I don't believe there was any wrongdoing on KD's part.

Oh, no, KSU, I wasn't saying KD had done anything wrong at all.

What I'm trying to say is--essentially, these women joined KBG and turned in their badges (when they asked to be released) only to re-affiliate with Kappa Delta. And, I when I said that Kappa Delta was assisting them, I meant that by going on with the colonization, Kappa Delta was assisting the women in turning away from KBG. Make sense?

I just hate it when women affiliate and then turn in their badges, is all.
