The intellectual ambition of the Fraternity shall be the attainment of highest scholarship. The social aim of the Fraternity shall be to exercise the widest influence for good. The moral aim of the Fraternity shall be the standard of love.

Kappa Alpha Theta was originally chartered at Penn in 1919 and re-colonized in the spring of 1988, when the members of the Nu Delta Society were initiated into Kappa Alpha Theta. As Thetas, we are devoted to scholarship, community service and friendship. Theta prides itself on the diversity of the sisterhood. Coming from all different backgrounds, Thetas are involved in a wide variety of campus activities including class boards, varsity sports, dance and a cappella groups, the Panhellenic Council, the Kite and Key Society, Friars and Mortar Board Senior Honor Societies and many more.

Our international philanthropy is CASA, Court Appointed Special Advocates – an agency providing trained volunteers who speak on behalf of abused and neglected children in court. The information provided by CASA volunteers enables judges to make informed and timely decisions about what is in the best interest of the child, thereby allowing these children to have the best chance at childhood. We have many fundraisers throughout the year to raise money and awareness for CASA. As a women's organization, we are also committed to awareness of issues that affect us as women, such as self-defense and body image.

Of course, being a part of Theta is also having fun. We have theme parties, date parties, formals and brunches with our family and alumnae at our house. In addition, we place an emphasis on sisterhood activities within the chapter, such as movie nights, chapter dinners and trips around Philadelphia to promote unity among our diverse and active membership.

We are a motivated group of women and we are proud of the fact that we have been able to pursue our own activities as individuals, while still coming together to make the Beta Eta chapter of Theta strong. We welcome you to Recruitment 2012 and look forward to meeting you!
