Community Service
Girl Scouts of the USA
Confidence is the area of focus with the Kappa Delta/Girl Scout Program. Chapters were required
to host and participate in 4 events during the 2010-2011 school year. Chapters completed a planning
report providing information about their contact at their local council and plans for the year.
Chapters are required to go through a contact at the local Girl Scout council to help find troops to
attend events and help guide them. The chapters are required to host larger scale events that include
multiple troops.
Ten Girl Scout councils received grants from the Kappa Delta Foundation in the amount of $10,000
to help fund an International Girls Day event in their council area. The Councils and collegiate
chapter areas were Middle Tennessee (Beta Tau, Delta Upsilon, Delta Pi, Eta Epsilon), Heart of the
South (Zeta Omega, Alpha Delta, Delta Omega, Alpha Mu, Gamma Psi, Zeta Beta), Louisiana East
(Epsilon), Historic Georgia (Sigma Phi, Epsilon Gamma, Delta Lambda, Delta Phi, Eta Mu, Gamma
Mu), Nation’s Capital (Alpha Rho), Florida Panhandle (Kappa Alpha), Louisiana Pines to the Gulf
(Alpha Chi, Delta Zeta, Gamma Kappa), Eastern Missouri (St. Louis University), Central Texas (Eta
Alpha, Epsilon Chi, Sigma Epsilon) Colonial Coast (Alpha Pi). They all had very successful
International Girls Day events.
Prevent Child Abuse America (PCAA)
As of April 26, 2011, collegiate and alumnae chapters raised more than $801,625.85 for their local
organizations and Prevent Child Abuse America. Some chapters, due to campus scheduling, are
having their Shamrock Events throughout the month of April so the totals will increase. As of June
18, 2010, KD collegiate chapters raised $1,060,136 and alumnae chapters raised $56,052
Kappa Delta worked with PCAA staff to advertise the April 2011 Wrigley Run 5K to members,
attended the “Pinstripes” event in Chicago in September 2011 and assisted PCAA with the
Pinwheels for Prevention campaign.
