UVM Kappa Alpha Theta

UVM Kappa Alpha Theta The official page of the Lambda chapter of Kappa Alpha Theta at UVM. A fraternity for women living by the values of faith, hope, and love.

Kappa Alpha Theta was founded in 1870 as the first Greek letter fraternity for women by four pioneering sisters at Indiana's DePauw University. Since its founding, Kappa Alpha Theta has shaped the college experiences of hundreds of thousands of sisters at our over 130 chapters across the United States and Canada.

Soon after, this group sought affiliation with Kappa Alpha Theta, becoming the Lambda Chapter, installed April 11, 1881.

We are hosting a Car Wash for CASA at UVM! 100% of the money collected will go to the Vermont Guardian Ad Litem Program which is affiliated with CASA. The Vermont Guardian ad Litem Program (VTGAL) ensures that every court has trained volunteers to serve as caring and independent child advocates, because no child should feel unheard, lost, helpless, or alone. VTGAL volunteers work with abused and neglected children in the foster system to help them improve their situation or with any legal assistance these children might need. A child’s VTGAL volunteer is one of the only adult figures who is constant in their life as they move from foster home to foster home. By donating to our event, you will provide legal and support services to children who need it most.
