Kappa Kappa Gamma was the fourth sorority at Purdue. We were founded on January 25, 1919 and we currently have the most members on campus. We currently have ninety girls living inside our house. Our house is just a short walk to campus and is one of the largest sorority houses on our campus. We currently have the highest GPA of any sorority. One of our members was the first female to hold voting power in Purdue's Student Government.
Transition period between new Chapter Council officers and old: Our Chapter typically struggles during the transition period between new officers and previous ones. This year, we brought in one of our advisors to help us out. She explained the importance of using our Leadership Guides as well as the many resources of help we have. She did a transition seminar for us which really helped make the transition smooth. Our new Chapter Council members feel much more comfortable in their positions and our goal is to meet all deadlines for the next calendar year.

The Gamma delta chapter also has kept scholarship at the forefront of our chapter.

The Gamma Delta Chapter was put on probation by Purdue University. Our chapter was also given a focus letter from nations to follow in order to be in good standings with Kappa Kappa Gamma. Our chapter wanted to make sure that we did everything we could to get off probation, which we applied for after the fall semester. As a whole chapter we attended Something of Value and created an anti-hazing program with the fraternity Pi Kappa Alpha. Not only did we make sure to complete the items that were necessary of our chapter to get off probation but we made sure to keep up with our scholastic and community service. As a chapter we continued through the rest of the year to make sure that we followed the rules and looked at our choices closer to make sure we had made the right decision. Anti-hazing is now part of our house and new member programing along with fraternity and sorority community relations.
