The principles and ideals upon which our organization was founded are ingrained in everything we do as a sorority, and our members and chapter programs and initiatives reflect these values every day.In essence, Kappa Deltas strive to Live Great! The G-R-E-A-T in “Live Great” is a simple acronym to remind us of the values we share as Kappa Deltas.
