    Living Our Values

    LiveGreat logo with KD.jpg

    Kappa Delta is committed to inspiring each and every member to lead a values-based life and become a woman of greatness. 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.

     

    Growth through lifetime learning
    Responsibility for our own integrity and ethical actions
    Engagement in social and civic interests
    Altruistic service to others
    Truth and loyalty to each other

     

    Living great, or living by our values, promotes all that Kappa Delta stands for. Clearly, it is when Kappa Delta members and chapters align their values with their actions that we are really at our best. When more than 200,000 members are dedicated to leading with values, we are empowered to better the world.

     

    Stand Up! Stand Out!

     College sororities are taking a stand on the issues that affect women on the campuses of America's colleges and universities. Stand Up! Stand Out! Why Settle For Fitting In When You Were Meant to Stand Out?offers college women a forum to discuss the effects of negative peer pressure and explore ways to make a difference on campus.

    There are so many difficult issues facing women today and nowhere is this more evident than on the campuses of American colleges and universities. Ironically, these same campuses are the breeding ground for tomorrow's leaders who will be expected to find ways to address these issues. Furthermore, the Greek system prides itself on developing leadership and promotes the concept of being your best self - in all areas of one's life - to their members.

     

    The Dove Campaign for Real Beauty

    Dove ad girl.jpgIn early 2006, Kappa Delta joined the groundbreaking Dove Campaign for Real Beauty to help raise self-esteem in girls and women. The campaign is a global effort intended to serve as a starting point for societal change and act as a catalyst for widening the definition and discussion of beauty. Girls and women of all ages benefit from the campaign as we explore what it is to be beautiful with our friends, coworkers, mothers and daughters.

    The Dove Campaign for Real Beauty has included controversial ads of real women with real curves in their underwear, a SuperBowl ad promoting self-esteem among girls, activity booklets, a comprehensive Web site and more. Kappa Delta is proud to join forces with Dove to make a difference in the lives of women and girls across the country.
