The campus is in Washington, D.C. The university does not have rolling hills and playing fields, but academic buildings amid town houses. Women’s groups usually have suites of rooms in university buildings. Gamma Chi has had four, starting with the one rented in 1922 by Gamma Beta Pi, the local sorority that later became a Kappa chapter. During the 1960s, the groups were moved to “Sorority Hall” on F Street. | The campus is in Washington, D.C.

On March 6, 1920, six girls, feeling that four women’s fraternities on campus did not adequately provide for the increasing number of female students, established a local organization called the Coalition Club and immediately wrote Kappa Kappa Gamma asking to be put on record as a petitioning group. Within a few months, the name was changed to Gamma Beta Pi, in order to conform with Panhellenic rules. | On March 6, 1920, six girls, feeling that four women’s fraternities on campus did not adequately provide for the increasing number of female students, established a local organization called the Coalition Club and immediately wrote Kappa Kappa Gamma asking to be put on record as a petitioning group.

The Washington, D.C.–Suburban Maryland Alumnae Association and the Northern Virginia Alumna Association are keenly interested in the Capital Kappas’ activities, and supply Advisory and House Board members. Joint meetings, especially on Founders Day, gifts, food for Rush (now Recruitment), supportive activities, even financial help, have made the word “alumna” synonymous with “friend” in Gamma Chi vocabulary. Advisory Board relationships have always been strong, and generally warm and close. | The Washington, D.C.–Suburban Maryland Alumnae Association and the Northern Virginia Alumna Association are keenly interested in the Capital Kappas’ activities, and supply Advisory and House Board members.
