About the Denver Alumnae Chapter
Kappa Alpha Theta, the first Greek-letter fraternity known among women
Established 1870
Chartered in 1908, the Denver Alumnae Chapter today boasts more than 350 members from the metro Denver area. The primary functions of the group are threefold: to support the Kappa Alpha Theta Fraternity both internationally and locally; to provide opportunities for social, intellectual, and moral growth of its members; and to make a positive contribution to the Denver community. The Denver Alumnae Chapter is nationally recognized as one of the strongest Theta alumnae groups in the United States and was honored with the prestigious Founders Award in 1991. The chapter's highlights include:
- Numerous social functions each year, many of which are combined with fundraising events or service programs.
- Annual fundraisers that raise money for Theta charities and local Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) organizations.
- Seasonal newsletters that provide news and information about chapter activities and upcoming events.
- Leadership opportunities for more than 50 women to hold office on the board and on numerous committees.
- Annual award of the Denver Alumnae Chapter Educational Trust Fund scholarship, which is given to a Denver area collegian each year through the Kappa Alpha Theta Foundation.
