Kappa Alpha Theta (ΚΑΘ) is a women’s fraternity founded in 1870 at DePauw University in Indiana. As the first Greek-letter fraternity for women, Theta was established to support intellectual curiosity, leadership, and lifelong friendship among college women.
Guided by values of scholarship, service, and personal development, Theta encourages members to pursue academic excellence while building meaningful connections within their chapters and communities. The organization is symbolized by the kite and recognized by its black and gold colors.
Kappa Alpha Theta is also dedicated to advocacy and service, proudly supporting Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA), an organization that helps provide trained advocates for children in the foster care system. Through this work and its strong alumnae network, Theta continues to empower women to lead with integrity and purpose.
