Supporting Theta Forever
Help us celebrate Bettie Locke Hamilton, the Theta who started it all. Give to Theta today!

Today, on a very special #GivingTuesday, Theta sisters everywhere are celebrating Bettie's bold step out through faith, hope, and love. 

 

"We realized somehow that we weren't going to college just for ourselves, but for all the girls who would follow after us."  -Bettie Locke Hamilton, Kappa Alpha Theta Founder

 

In Bettie's memory, every gift made on #GivingTuesday will benefit the Theta Forever Fund in celebration of Bettie's greatest hope, realized by 150 years of Kappa Alpha Theta. Your unrestricted support of #ThetaForever helps us make certain the Theta experience lives on for future generations!

 

All gifts made on #GivingTuesday will be commemorated with a spectacular "Founder's Pansy" in the Sesquicentennial Pansy Patch at Grand Convention. Though you'll have the opportunity to honor Bettie during the official Pansy Patch opening in spring 2020, only gifts made today on #GivingTuesday will be recognized as contributions to the "Founder's Pansy." Don't miss your chance to honor the Theta who started it all. Join us!
