Since our founding in 1870, Kappa Alpha Theta has provided support for college women and alumnae throughout their lives. As an organization, we nurture each member throughout her lifetime, offering opportunities for intellectual and personal growth. Kappa Alpha Theta was founded as the first Greek-letter organization for women. In establishing Kappa Alpha Theta, our founders created a women’s fraternity in which they could learn, grow, support one another, and be part of something larger than themselves. Kappa Alpha Theta headquarters comprises Kappa Alpha Theta Fraternity, Theta Foundation, and the Fraternity Housing Corporation (FHC).
