Chapter Philanthropy

The Gamma Phi chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma follows the Fraternity's three-part philanthropy model.  We focus our philanthropic and community service outreach in the following three areas: 

Sometimes our own members are the ones in need, so that’s why the Kappa Kappa Gamma Foundation, a charitable 501(c)(3) organization, was created.  The Gamma Phi Chapter supports the Foundation and works to advance its goal of empowering inspired women.  The mission of the Kappa Kappa Gamma Foundation is to support the lifetime development of women through the funding of educational programs, scholarships, financial aid, and the preservation of Kappa heritage.  Whether it’s a scholarship to help a young woman complete her education or an emergency grant in a time of crisis, the Foundation helps Kappas when they need it most.

Mental Health America:
We join sisters across the continent to support Kappa's philanthropy, Mental health America. In 2022, our chapter officially voted to adopt Kappa’s new philanthropy as it is a pressing issue and relatable topic for our chapter and sisters around the world. Our chapter contributes by hosting events each semester to raise awareness for mental health and donating funds to MHA.
 

Local Philanthropies: In addition to chapter-sponsored philanthropy events—Such as Kappa Kickback, Kappa Karnival, and fun events will different Fraternities on campus—we support local campus and community service projects.  Our members enjoy attending philanthropy events hosted by other sororities and fraternities on campus and we encourage members to participate in a variety of philanthropic initiatives. We continue to get involved with local Dallas philanthropies, such as the Women Genesis Shelter

Additionally, members participate in the SMU blood drive or different events hosted by the Panhellenic community. Each semester, every active member contributes at least three hours of community service.
