History[edit]
| Conventions have brought together all that is Kappa nearly every biennium since 1876. It is "at General Convention" that Kappa Kappa Gamma conducts its business -- with election of officers, changes in bylaws, lively discussions and official reports -- and honors its members for achievement, excellence, fiscal responsibility, service, and loyalty. Kappas make a point, too, of pleasure part of the program; over the years, members have performed pageants, as part of the musical "Pickers," or as one of the Kappa Choir. They dress in mortarboards, white dresses and evening gowns, enjoy spectacular surroundings and friendships, share memories and humorous speeches, touch each others' hearts and memorialize Kappas lost.
