Girl Scouts of the USA
 For over 100 years, Kappa Delta has encouraged women, college-age and beyond, to be their best selves...caring individuals, concerned citizens, and community leaders. For almost as long, Girl Scouts has fostered the same ideals in younger girls. Together preparing girls for college, for life, for all they hope to become. This year KD teamed up with the local Auburn girl scout troops to paint flower pots that were delivered to the Children's Hospital in Birmingham . We also help the local Auburn troops earn badges and sell their famous cookies.
Prevent Child Abuse America
Since 1981, all collegiate chapters and many alumnae associations participate in Kappa Delta's Shamrock Event held annually in March. The groups choose their own fund-raising activities, and 80 percent of the total is donated to local child abuse prevention agencies with the other 20 percent donated to PCA America. The money we raise at our Shamrock Run goes to Lee Scan in Lee county to help prevent child abuse locally.
Children's Hospital of Richmond
In 1921, Kappa Delta made a commitment to support a 2-bed, fledgling clinic operated by William Tate Graham, M.D. He was renowned for his revolutionary approaches. A pioneer in treating polio victims, he never turned any patient away for inability to pay. Now Children's Hospital treats all children's problems and still turns away no one for financial reasons. Kappa Delta's support continues--donating funds which have gone to build an operating room, develop a clinic, and buy a van to transport patients. The sorority is a primary sustaining supporter of the hospital and Kappa Deltas
serve on its governing boards.
Orthopedic Surgeons Research
American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons Research Awards Three awards of $20,000 are given annually to recognize outstanding research in orthopaedics and to enable researchers to continue their efforts. First presented in 1950, the awards have grown in stature to become known as the Nobel Prize of Orthopaedic Research, and one of the most coveted awards in this field. To date over 1.1 million dollars in awards have been given.
The Jule Collins Smith Museum
 The Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art has received the third installment of the $10,000 pledge from the sisters of the Sigma Lambda chapter Kappa Delta Sorority at Auburn University. Two years ago, Kappa Delta committed to the goal of giving $10,000ti the Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art over several years. After giving $3,200 in 2006 and $4,200 in 2007, the sorority has recently accomplished their goal. On September 19, 2008, the sisters presented Marilyn Laufer, JCSM Director, with a check for $3,100, which brings their total donation to $10,500.
