About Kappa Delta
In 1897, four young women at State Female Normal School of Virginia (now Longwood University) joined together with a common vision — to create something “higher and nobler,” an organization that would empower women through friendship and high ideals. Over 125 years later, the sorority continues to live the dream of its founders by providing a lifelong experience for our members through support and sisterhood.
The Kappa Delta experience offers members the chance to leave their mark on the future and impact the lives of members and those in need around the world. Contributions to the Kappa Delta Foundation from alumnae, collegians and friends enable the sorority to further its philanthropic efforts, local community outreach programs, as well as scholarships and educational opportunities for members.
We have chosen to become Kappa Deltas because we believe that, in some way, all of us can be better together than each of us can be alone. That is the strength of Kappa Delta. Learn more about Kappa Delta Sorority and the Kappa Delta Foundation by visiting our national organization’s website.

Delta Tau was founded in Morehead, Kentucky on April 26, 1969. As an organization, we are home to 73 initiated members led by many outstanding women, including our governing council and chapter advisory board. We are a network of sisters who all come from different backgrounds and experiences, but have been brought together through our sisterhood in Kappa Delta. At Morehead State University, we've been honored to be named Sorority Chapter of The Year for 7 years in a row! Our chapter is known on campus for our avid participation in many events, including other Greek events, events with Campus Activities Board, collaborations with Baptist Campus Ministry, intramural sports, and much more!
