Philanthropy is a very important aspect of Kappa Kappa Gamma. We participate in many of the philanthropies on campus and take part in many different community service projects throughout the year.

Epsilon Lambda's Local Philanthropy:
March of Dimes
The March of Dimes is a non-profit organization dedicated to help prevent premature birth defects and infant mortality. To raise money and awareness, Kappa held our fifth annual Kappa- Lympics event. This year, Kappa raised over $6,000, which surpassed our goal that was set by our chapter and the March of Dimes. In the fall Kappa was recognized by the March of Dimes with the National Collegiate Award for having raised the most money by a single collegiate organization in the country! Walk America,which is the national fundraising event for March of Dimes, was held on April 24th. Our chapter had a wonderful time at this event! We have started a new way to further our support of the March of Dimes by creating Princess for a Day. This is were a group of our girls go to the St. Jude's Hospital and play with the children, putting on make-up, painting nails and doing their hair. It is just a way to put a smile on these little childrens faces. Kappa has put so much effort into supporting the March of Dimes and hopes to continue forward with all the efforts. font>




Every spring, we at Epsilon Lambda have our own philanthropy event: Kappa-Lympics
Kappa-Lympics is a day of goofy field games such as dizzy bat, tug o war, potato sack races, and volleyball, and a cookout out follows the event. Each sorority and fraternity can enter teams to participate. Every team has two Kappa coaches. There is one sorority and one fraternity that take home the gold in Kappa- lympics each year. The event takes place on Fuji Island in the springtime. All the proceeds of the event go to our Philanthropy, March of Dimes. This event has been such a huge success that Kappa Gamma Nationals awarded “Best Philanthropy Event” to our Epsilon Lambda chapter.


Kappa also participated in Dance Marathon, which benefited Tennessee Children’s Hospital. The event is 24-hours of dancing and games. This year over 50 girls from Kappa participated. Kappa Kappa Gamma raised $8,702.63!.

The sisters of Kappa Kappa Gamma would like to thank all the participants in our first ever Kappa-Lympics. It was a huge success and earned Epsilon Lambda chapter and National award for the "Best Philanthropy Event".
