About Kappa Alpha Theta, Gamma Kappa Chapter
Kappa Alpha Theta, Gamma Kappa Chapter at George Washington University in Washington, DC represents a historic sisterhood rooted in pioneering achievement and mutual support. Founded by four courageous women—Bettie Locke, Alice Allen, Hannah Fitch, and Bettie Tipton—at Indiana Asbury College, Kappa Alpha Theta was established as the first Greek-letter fraternity for women. These founders faced significant challenges and discrimination yet persevered to create a community where women could learn, grow, and support one another while being part of something larger than themselves.
The Gamma Kappa Chapter honors this legacy of courage and determination by fostering an inclusive community where members from all backgrounds and interests come together. Whether athletes or artists, musicians or mathematicians, dreamers or doers, members find their place within a supportive sisterhood. The chapter's vision of leading every member to personal excellence through lifelong sisterhood guides all activities and initiatives.
Serving the Washington, DC area, Gamma Kappa Chapter provides its members with meaningful connections that extend far beyond their college years. The organization is passionate about inspiring women to stand out, take risks, and make a difference together. Members develop lasting bonds through shared experiences, collaborative projects, and genuine friendships that define the Kappa Alpha Theta experience.
The chapter remains committed to upholding the long tradition of leading the way for the next generation of leaders. By maintaining the values established by its founders over 150 years ago, Gamma Kappa Chapter continues to cultivate women who are not afraid to challenge the status quo and create positive change in their communities and beyond.
