Why Kappa Delta:


"Going KD meant unlocking new doors and tons of new possibilities. The chapter exposed me to so many new faces on campus, helped me find some of my truest lifelong friends, gave me opportunities to become more involved, and has helped me grow as person. KD brought out the leader in me by giving me the opportunity to hold a position on council and has inspired me to be the best version of myself. The KD sisterhood has been such a light in my life and I’m so thankful to the chapter for the constant support they have given me in striving to achieve my goals. Even on a national level, I felt the constant support of Kappa Delta through scholarship opportunities and merit recognition. Watching the incredible things our sisters do for one another and their communities makes me so proud to be a KD!" -Emily Dennis


"Kappa Delta has given me the most incredible support system. It’s so important to know that you have people who unconditionally love and support you and I have found that through being a member of KD. Each member of kappa delta is unique, but all share core values of respect, confidence, kindness, and loyalty. From Kappa Delta I have met people I can not only call my best friends, but my sisters. I love every opportunity we get to spend time together and I know the relationships I have made will last far beyond my years at Villanova." - Caroline Longworth


"I went KD because it was where I felt the most at home! Each and every single girl I talked to throughout recruitment was so kind, and I felt safe talking to them. KD made me feel like being myself was more than enough, and I knew from the very start it was where I wanted to be. I love how kind everyone is to one another and I’ve seen how they have each other’s backs time and time again. I also got super lucky and found a big and best friend all in one. KD has been one of my favorite things of Villanova and I can’t wait for next year!!" - Rosa Marfia


"I went KD because all of the girls are down to earth and extremely funny. Even through the rush process I could see this. They’re so welcoming and accepting of everyone, and I knew it’s where I’d belong." - Josie Johnston


"I went KD because of the genuine connections I made during recruitment and because of how excited, happy and at home I felt every time I walked through their door during rounds! :)" - Mary Fossaceca
