In search of a new sorority, Harvard’s Panhellenic Council contacted the National Panhellenic Council, an umbrella organization for 26 international women’s fraternities and sororities.
More than 25 sororities sent information to Harvard’s council, which picked three sororities to make presentations on campus: Alpha Phi, Delta Delta Delta, and Kappa.
While the choice was difficult, the decision was almost unanimous, according to Maki.
“Because all three sororities were great, it shows that if Harvard wants to bring more sororities in the future, we would have a lot of wonderful options,” Christodoulo said.
A representative of the national Kappa sorority plans to move to Cambridge to help found the Harvard chapter, according to Christodoulo.
Current sorority members say Kappa will receive a warm welcome from Harvard’s current Greek community.
“Theta and DG are both equally committed to supporting Kappa,” Maki said.
