Kappa Kappa Gamma

Kappa Kappa Gamma is the newest Panhellenic organization at Knox College. The women of Kappa Kappa Gamma officially colonized in 2005 as the local, independent sorority Tau Sigma Omega, or TSO. The national organization's first chapter was founded in 1870 not far from Knox at Monmouth College in Monmouth, Illinois.

During the fall of 2006, TSO actively sought to affiliate with a national sorority. The list was narrowed down to two and after visits and presentations from the nationals, the women of TSO unanimously selected Kappa Kappa Gamma.

On March 4, 2007, 31 women signed the charter and were formally installed as the Eta Kappa chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma. As a young organization, the ladies of TSO were extremely happy with their decision to affiliate with Kappa Kappa Gamma.

The members wanted to continue their tradition of leadership, Kappa's motto, as Knox College is consistently ranked among the top liberal arts colleges in America. In the organization's short history Eta Kappa has won, in 2007, Greek Week, Derby Days, and Outstanding Philanthropy Award. In addition to this, many of the women maintain leadership roles throughout the campus including Student Senate, Club Athletics, International Club, Habitat for Humanity, and Pre-Med Club. Academic interests of Eta Kappa members are also diverse including majors in Economics, Classics, Theatre, Mathematics, Gender Women's Studies and Independent concentrations like Business and Society.
