About Us

Our History

Welcome to the Austin Area Kappas, home of the Austin Alumnae Association. Founded in 1919, alumnae of Kappa Kappa Gamma continue to thrive in Austin, Texas and the surrounding areas.

We offer programming to Austin Area Kappas of all ages, and we hope you will join us to unlock a host of benefits including our calendar of programs and events, newsletters, recruitment information, philanthropy information and giving opportunities, electronic membership directory, and much more.

As part of the Austin Alumnae Panhellenic Association (AAPA), we support the Beta Xi chapter at the University of Texas, the Epsilon Rho chapter at Texas A&M University, and other chapters home to Austin area actives.

“Kappa Kappa Gamma symbolizes all that we wish to accomplish in our lives. Kappa Kappa Gamma represents the struggles we all face as we grow. Why we cling to Kappa Kappa Gamma no one can explain, but in the end, we are all stronger for it.”
