In 1916, twelve women of Marquette University began a great undertaking, the foundation of the first sorority on Marquette's campus. These twelve worked enthusiastically toward their goal and on January 22, 1917, Kappa Beta Gamma was founded at Marquette University in Milwaukee, WI. Their purpose was to unite the members in the bond of sisterhood; to develop friendships among the members during their college days, to improve the members morally, socially, and intellectually, and to foster the support of College/University, alma mater, and of God and country.
Kappa Beta Gamma is a very unique, non-panhellenic sorority. We provide a place for women to develop socially, morally, and intellectually through their college years and beyond. We treat each member and chapter as family and work to ensure that all of our women enjoy an unmatched sorority experience.
