The Des Moines Alumnae Chapter of Kappa Alpha Theta was officially installed on July 25, 1920, marking the beginning of organized alumnae support for Theta’s presence in the community and at Drake University. The chapter supports the collegiate chapters at Drake University (Beta Kappa, installed 1921) and Iowa State University (Gamma Pi, installed 1948). Today, it serves members in the Des Moines area through social and philanthropic activities, while also supporting local community initiatives such as Iowa CASA.
