In 1830, Albert Gallatin, the distinguished statesman who served as secretary of the treasury under presidents Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, declared his intention to establish “in this immense and fast-growing city ... a system of rational and practical education fitting for all and graciously opened to all.” Founded in 1831, New York University is now the largest private university in the United States. Of the more than 3,000 colleges and universities in America, New York University is one of only 60 member institutions of the distinguished Association of American Universities.
Kappa Kappa Gamma was invited to colonize on the campus of New York University when the active members of the 10-year-old local group, Kappa Psi Delta, petitioned the Fraternity to establish a chapter. The 20 Kappa Psi Delta women who pledged Kappa Kappa Gamma on September 7, 2011, describe themselves as quiet girls who flourished upon joining Kappa Psi Delta, and they expect to continue growing as members of Kappa. Eta Pi will join the chapters at St. Lawrence, Syracuse, Cornell, Marist and Colgate to make six Kappa chapters in the state of New York.
On November 5, 2011, 20 collegiate members and 11 alumnae of Kappa Psi Delta were initiated as members of Eta Pi Chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma, establishing the Fraternity’s 138th active chapter.
