History
In 1998, Kappa Phi Gamma Sorority, Inc. became American's first women's Greek-lettered organization to promote a South Asian interest. The 27 national Founders based their ideals off eight principles that each Kappa Phi Gamma Sister strives to exemplify everyday; those principles being scholarship, sisterhood, character, service, leadership, culture, womanhood, and betterment of self. After expanding the Sorority to Universities in Texas, the East Coast finally welcome K Phi G, where soon after, Virginia Commonwealth University would establish a colony - the Theta Colony.
On March 6, 2005, six women chartered the Theta Colony at Virginia Commonwealth University, bringing with them all of the Sisterhoods' ideals and principles to be spread on the VCU campus for other women to embrace. They aspired to continue the vision of the national Founders as well as embark on new experiences and contribute to the Richmond community during that process.
With Kappa Phi Gamma being both a social and service Sorority, Theta Colony has hosted and participated in various events throughout not only VCU's campus, but the entire City of Richmond. From social activities such as nightlife events to community service projects, Kappa Phi Gamma has marked its spot in Richmond and the future holds nothing but more success and community involvement. Theta Colony, however, is not limited to organizational events. Each active Sisters' cumulative grade point average has helped Theta earn the award of "Highest GPA on Campus" of all Greek-lettered organizations two years in a row. With scholarship being a principle, and being held on a high pedestal, Sisters are encouraged to maintain their academic successes while contributing to society. |
