Kappa Kappa Gamma (ΚΚΓ), also known simply as Kappa or KKG, is a collegiate sorority founded at Monmouth College in Monmouth, Illinois, United States.

It has a membership of more than 260,000 women, with 140 collegiate chapters in the United States and Canada and 307 alumni associations worldwide.[2][3]

It is sometimes referred to by its original designation, a women's fraternity, as it was founded before the term "sorority" was coined.[4] It is a founding member of the National Panhellenic Conference (NPC), an umbrella organization that includes 26 American sororities.[5]
