Kappa Kappa Gamma, founded in 1870, is one of the oldest women's fraternities. The Gamma Omicron chapter at the University of Wyoming has been active since 1927. Our core values of friendship, leadership, and scholarship unite generations of Kappas, fostering a college experience focused on intellectual development, self-growth, and campus involvement.
We strive to dream boldly and live fully, giving back and inspiring positive change through our philanthropic efforts. Our three pillars of philanthropy include the Kappa Kappa Gamma Foundation, national mental health organizations, and local support for the Albany County SAFE Project. We proudly partner with nonprofits like Active Minds, the JED Foundation, NAMI, Mental Health America, and NEDA.
The Kappa Foundation funds impactful programs, including scholarships, financial assistance, and member education. A recent grant for Talkspace offers accessible mental health resources to our members.
Locally, we support the Albany County SAFE Project, raising over $5,000 in 2022 for survivors of violence. Our members hold leadership roles on the UW Panhellenic Council, participate in Kappa intramural sports, engage in the Big Event, and are active in the Honors College, UW Athletics, various RSOs, Mortar Board, Order of Omega, and more!
Kappa Kappa Gamma is an organization of women, which seeks for every member throughout her life bonds of friendship, mutual support, opportunities for self-growth, respect for intellectual development, and an understanding of and an allegiance to positive ethical principles.
