National Philanthropies

Girl Scouts

We sponsor a Brownie/Junior Girl Scout troop that meets every Saturday Morning. We help the girls complete badges by utilizing the talents of all the women in our sorority. In addition to completing badges we help the girls complete their yearly cookie sale and explore any and all interest areas.

Prevent Child Abuse America

Prevent Child Abuse America was founded by Donna Stone, a Kappa Delta. Kappa Delta has donated over $7.1 million to PCAA. Hundreds of Kappa Delta chapters host "Shamrock Events" every year to raise money for national and local child abuse prevention efforts. Our sisters, Jackie Reed, Rachel Gold and Cara Borrelli are hosting Shamrock Event 2010.

Children's Hospital Richmond, Virginia

Kappa Delta and the Children's Hospital in Richmond Virginia's relationship started in 1921 when Kappa Delta pledged to support two beds by $1,200. Since then Kappa Delta contributed over $2.2 millions that helped to develop a motion clinic and a playground, and purchase hospital equipment, medical braces, neurosurgical instruments, and vans to transport patients.

Orthopaedic Research Awards

After working with the Children's Hospital, Kappa Deltas felt like they should make a difference not only in treatment but also in prevention. With American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) Kappa Delta has been granting awards to leading orthopaedic researchers for the past 60 years. The owners of this year's awards, which totals to $60,000, are Stavros Thomopoulos, PhD; Hiroshi Kawaguchi, MD, PhD; Toru Akune, MD, PhD; Takashi Yamada, MD, PhD; and Naoshi Ogata, MD, PhD; Michael J. Yaszemski, MD, PhD; and Lichun Lu, PhD.
