Kappa Delta's support of the Children's Hospital in Richmond, Virginia dates back to 1921. The sorority became interested in the work being done in our founding state by William Tate Graham, M.D., a pioneer in the field known for treating polio victims. Dr. Graham had become renowned for his revolutionary approaches and never turned away a patient for their inability to pay.
Beginning with our initial pledge of $1,200 to support two beds, Kappa Delta's commitment to Children's Hospital over the years has never wavered. The sorority's monetary and tangible gifts have totaled more than $2.2 million. Contributions have gone to develop a motion clinic, purchase hospital equipment, medical braces and neurosurgical instruments, provide playground equipment and purchase vans to transport patients.
Kappa Delta collegians and alumnae serve as mentors and volunteers, reinforcing our common values of honesty, integrity, friendship and leadership.
Alpha Kappa Chapter does one event each term with the local Girl Scout troups. During the fall, the sister hold a Haunted House in the basment of the chapter house for the younger girl scout and brownie troups. Other fun events include a Teddy Bear Picnic, and Mother-Daughter Tea.
In early 2006, Kappa Delta joined forces with the groundbreaking Dove Campaign for Real Beauty, promoting self-esteem among girls nationwide through the Girl Scout Uniquely Me! program. Girl Scouts who take part in Kappa Delta-sponsored events earn a special Kappa Delta badge.

In 1947, the sorority established the Kappa Delta Research Fellowship in Orthopedy (now known as the Kappa Delta Orthopaedic Research Awards). Starting with a $1,000 contribution in 1950, Kappa Delta now presents three $20,000 awards annually to leading orthopaedic researchers, for a total of over $1.1 million since the partnership began.
Often referred to as the Nobel Prize of orthopaedic research, the Kappa Delta Orthopaedic Research Awards have gone to researchers who have made key discoveries pertaining to bone grafting, treatment of polio, surgical correction of scoliosis, knee replacement, prevention and treatment of osteoporosis, arthorscopic surgery--in short, most of the leading orthopaedic advancements of the past 60 years.
