History of Kappa Kappa Gamma
On October 13, 1870, six young women marched into the chapel at Monmouth College wearing golden keys with the Greek letters KKG in their hair. At the time, Greek letter fraternities existed only for men, and women were only able to join literary societies. Kappa Kappa Gamma is officially a women's fraternity, rather than a sorority - a term that only came into use around 1890. This first public appearance is remembered as the Founder's Day of the Fraternity. Founder's Day is a time to honor those pioneering women of Kappa, and it is also a time for Kappa members of all ages to come together in sisterhood and friendship

Stewart House in Monmouth, IL which is the birthplace of KKG.
Founders
These six young founders of the Kappa Kappa Gamma fraternity made history by being among the first to found a Greek-letter fraternity for women.
