An installation is set for 7 p.m., April 11, to welcome a chapter of Kappa Delta sorority to UALR’s growing Greek community. The ceremony and reception will be in Ledbetter Hall at the Donaghey Student Center.

The sorority established a colony at UALR last fall and will host 24 members and their families at the installation ceremony.

“The chapter has now met all the requirements to be recognized as a fully functioning organization on campus,” said Jenny Hunt campus life specialist at the Office of Campus Life. University administrators, including Dr. Joel E. Anderson, Dr. Charles Donaldson, and Dean Preston Slayden, have been invited to attend the ceremony and reception. Additionally, members of the National Council for Kappa Delta will be traveling to Little Rock for the occasion.

Kappa Delta was founded in 1897 at what was State Female Normal School and now Longwood University in Farmwood, Va. The sorority promotes its goal as, “to promote true friendship among the college girls of our country by inculcating into their hearts and lives those principles of truth, of honor, of duty, without which there can be no true friendship.”
