Dream Boldly. Live Fully. "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."

Eta Chi Chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma found its home on NC State’s campus in the Fall of 2016 in a beautiful new house. Our chapter has quickly grown into a family of 160 amazing women.

Kappa emphasizes the importance of mental health which is why we support 6 different mental health organizations: Active Minds, the Jed Foundation, NEDA, Jack.Org, NAMI, and Mental Health America. We strive to have the backs of all of our sister, and any kappa sister has free access to Talk Space, a virtual counseling platform. Additionally, Kappa supports the local philanthropy of Feed the Pack, dedicated to feeding all individuals on NC State's Campus.

In support of mental health, Eta Chi hosts Mac and Keys once a year. Mac and Keys is a campus wide event where everyone’s favorite guilty pleasure, mac and cheese, is sold to raise money for one of the six organizations we support. Eta Chi also takes pride in participating in other Panhellenic philanthropy events hosted by our panhellenic sisters.

While Mental Health is our core philanthropy, Eta Chi’s dedicated sisters also participate in several other campus fundraising events. We build a shack for Shack-A-Thon, a unique fundraising event that supports Habitat for Humanity. Our sisters also love creating a team for Dance Marathon, a 12 hour dance party to raise money for the Duke Children’s Hospital. We also participate in Service Raleigh, where we give back to our community by donating our time to various local projects. In addition we nationally support the Rose Mcgill fund, which is a grant for financial assistance for Kappas in socioeconomic or physical need.

Kappa is more than just an amazing organization; we are a fun-loving diverse group of talented young women. We are family. We are sisters. Our sisters are involved on campus, participating in various clubs, academic fraternities, and beyond. Eta Chi offers opportunities for professional development, personal growth, and networking, providing resources for effective communication, organizational skills, and emotional health. And yes, we know how to have fun -- backing the pack at football games, holiday parties, pumpkin decorating, work-out classes, rock climbing, movie nights, lip sync battles, and more.

Dream boldy and live fully -- that is what the sisters of Eta Chi encourage each other to do. We cannot wait to meet you and welcome you to NC State, the place we call home.  Go Pack!
