FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Curious about Sorority life? Let's clear it up.
WHY JOIN A SORORITY?
Joining a sorority is a wonderful pathway to joining a community of like-minded women who support and empower each other. It’s about building lifelong wisdom, developing leadership skills, and growing morally, socially, and intellectually.
​
A sorority connects you to campus life and your community in meaningful ways, providing opportunities that shape your college experience and beyond. It’s a place to challenge yourself, find your voice, and create bonds that last a lifetime.
​
WHY KAPPA BETA GAMMA?
Kappa Beta Gamma exists to shape women of Character, Culture, and Courage. Our purpose is to support our members in growing morally, socially, and intellectually, during their collegiate years and beyond.
We foster high ideals in education, community involvement, and Sisterhood, while creating space for personal leadership and cultural impact. Every member is encouraged to dream big, lead boldly, and show up for others with compassion and strength.
​
Kappa Beta Gamma is more than a Sorority. It’s a launchpad for the women we are becoming and the ones we’re called to be.
​
WHAT IS ‘NEW MEMBER EDUCATION’?
Before becoming an initiated Sister of Kappa Beta Gamma, each New Member Candidate takes part in a structured Education period. This program is designed to introduce members to the history, values, and expectations of our organization, while building a strong foundation of Sisterhood. The Education period includes 8 learning units that must be completed in full. Through this experience, New Members gain a deeper understanding of our ideals, traditions, and the responsibilities that come with wearing our letters. It’s a meaningful preparation for lifelong membership, and an important first step in becoming a proud KBG Sister.
​
Kappa Beta Gamma has a zero-tolerance policy for hazing. Our Education process is rooted in respect, empowerment, and integrity. Every Sister deserves a safe and supportive path into our Sisterhood.
​
WHAT IS THE TIME COMMITMENT?
Membership in Kappa Beta Gamma is both a privilege and a responsibility. New Member Candidates are required to attend weekly Education sessions throughout the intake period. Following initiation, active members typically participate in at least two Chapter events per month, which may include Sisterhood gatherings, philanthropic initiatives, or campus involvement.
​
Our organization is built to support academic success and personal growth. We recognize that our members lead full lives, and we are committed to helping them balance their studies, leadership roles, and community engagement effectively. Members are encouraged to take ownership of their experience and invest meaningfully in their Chapter, because what you put in, you truly get back.
WHAT ARE THE FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITIES OF MEMBERSHIP?
Joining Kappa Beta Gamma is an investment in Sisterhood, leadership, and lifelong growth. Each New Member Candidate pays a one-time, non-refundable education fee, due in full before beginning the New Member Education period. This payment typically falls within 24 hours to two weeks after receiving a bid. Upon Initiation, all members are responsible for both National and Chapter dues.
National Dues are set by our Headquarters and help support large-scale operations — including Konvention, insurance, Greek management systems, and the administration that keeps our Sorority running at the highest standard. Chapter Dues are determined locally by each Chapter’s membership and reflect the cost of campus-specific fees and the events they choose to host throughout the year. While many Sisters find our dues to be significantly more affordable than other Greek organizations, we actively promote fundraising efforts to help minimize out-of-pocket costs and keep our Sisterhood financially accessible.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER GRADUATION?
As a proud lifelong member of Kappa Beta Gamma, your journey continues well beyond your collegiate years.
