Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Initiatives

Kappa Kappa Gamma was founded 150 years ago on the principles of integrity, respect and regard for others. The events of the past few weeks have challenged our commitment to those ideals, and we are grateful to our members for speaking up and holding us accountable for change. We are committed to becoming part of the solution, and that begins with action, today.

As such, we are also committed to sharing regular updates and information regarding these initiatives with our membership. We will be posting those updates and resources here.

*In-Person and Virtual Training:

  •  “Are You Ensuring Everyone Is Asked to Dance? Doing Your Part”  

    •  During this workshop, participants explore the concepts of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Understanding their role as leaders within the chapter to create a culture of support participants will be asked to consider how to best engage in inclusive leadership through the application of the six traits of inclusive leadership (Deloitte University Press, 2016). 

       *Chapters receive this training on a rotational basis as part of the Harm Prevention Series, however, they may contact education@kappa.org to request based upon individual chapter interest.

We appreciate the feedback we have received these past few weeks, and we encourage our members to continue the conversation on these important topics so we can grow as an organization.
