OUR CHAPTER
Installed March 12, 1904, the Zeta Chapter of Kappa Delta at the University of Alabama was the first women’s sorority on the UA campus and the first women’s sorority in the state of Alabama. Zeta Chapter is Kappa Delta’s oldest chapter to have been active continuously since its chartering.
Many leaders of the national organization—including two former national presidents—have come from our chapter. And many members have been leaders on campus and in the community.
Our chapter has a strong sisterhood and an even stronger commitment to making a difference through community service.
WHY WE LOVE KD!
“Every single girl I've met in KD puts others before themselves and will do anything they can to support you, love you, and make you laugh. Because of KD, I have been able to surround myself with people who I know can’t imagine life without. The experiences and relationships I have been able to have thanks to KD mean the world to me! Today and everyday, I am so grateful I MTRCKD!”

“I am forever in debt to KD for making my college experience everything and more than I could’ve ever hoped. Since pledging KD, I have met so many incredible girls that I am lucky enough to call my sisters. There is truly no stranger in KD and experiencing the love, laughs, and joy shared in the house is something so special that it can’t be put into words. I could not be more grateful to have such a wonderful place to call home and I wouldn’t trade my choice for the world!”

“The start of rush can stir up so many emotions, but each time the doors opened, I was greeted with the comfort of familiar faces and the excitement of meeting new people. While it was reassuring to see friends I already knew, I was also eager to find a place where I could grow and form new friendships, but still hold onto the connections from home. Through KD, I have met some of the most amazing girls from all over the country, formed so many meaningful friendships, and made some of the most incredible memories that I will cherish forever. I will never forget running home to Gracie on bid day! I was overwhelmed with excitement, knowing what an amazing 4 years I had ahead of me! Since bid day, I never looked back and I am forever thankful I chose KD, and I cannot wait for the next 3 years! MTRCKD!"

“I will never forget stepping into KD during my first round of rush, and immediately feeling right at home. Every single person was genuinely excited to see me and I could tell how proud all of the older girls were to be in the KD house together. This sisterhood is more than just friendship, it is family. When bid day came around, I remember tearing up on the lawn because I knew that I was now a part of something so much bigger than myself.”

“Coming from in-state, I wanted to branch out but still have a sense of home—KD has been the perfect home for me. I knew what I was looking for in a house and the kind of girls I wanted to be surrounded by. The moment I walked into KD, all my nerves instantly went away and I felt so loved and valued. The friendships I have formed since pledging KD will last a lifetime—l'm beyond thankful to have met girls from all over the country that have made my college experience the absolute best!”
