N.C. State will welcome three new sororities in the next six years. Set to be a part of Panhellenic on campus, they are Kappa Alpha Theta (ΚΑΘ), Kappa Kappa Gamma (ΚΚΓ), and Alpha Xi Delta (ΑΞΔ).

Their addition to the campus will be in 3-year increments beginning this year. The first sorority to join is Kappa Alpha Theta, or just “Theta,” which will be welcoming recruits in the fall 2013 PanHellenic Recruitment, which is September 6 through 11.

According to Carly Earp, a junior in criminology and Executive Vice President of NCSU PanHellenic, the Executive Board chose these three sororities based on their overall presentations to the board and current sorority members on “why and how they plan to make a good contribution to the N.C. State Greek life.”

Each of the new sororities is set to have housing in Greek Village, even during their inception phases, said Earp.

Theta was founded in 1870 as the first Greek letter sorority for women, according to KappaAlphaTheta.org. Garnished in yellow and black and symbolized by the kite and twin stars, Theta will bring to campus their philanthropy called The Friendship Fund, a service of sisters helping sisters financially.
