Sisterhood and Fraternity Ideals

Mission Statement

Yesterday, today and tomorrow, Kappa Alpha Theta exists to nurture each member throughout her college and alumnae experience and to offer a lifelong opportunity for social, intellectual and moral growth as she meets the higher and broader demands of mature life. These dynamic women sought to create an organization that would provide the encouragement and support that would draw the interest of many college women. The main purpose of the fraternity is consists of three goals. The first is that the intellectual ambition of the Fraternity shall be the attainment of highest scholarship. The second is that the social aim of the Fraternity shall be to exercise the widest influence for good. And the last goal of Theta is that the moral aim of the Fraternity shall be the standard of love.

Through the years, Kappa Alpha Theta has grown to its current size of 124 college chapters, 282 alumnae groups, and more than 150,000 members. Kappa Alpha Theta was also the first women's fraternity to become international with a chapter in Canada.
