Recognizing the power of friendship among women, in 1999, Kappa Delta created National Women’s Friendship Day for women everywhere. The celebration was so popular that the day was expanded to National Women’s Friendship Month for 2009. Now both KDs and non-KDs alike will celebrate their special women friends throughout the month of September each year.
Over the years, women have sent cards, met for dinner, organized seminars, planned girls' nights out and even collected donated items for women in need. Many companies have joined in the celebration including General Foods International, Avon's mark cosmetics, Maidenform, Teleflora, Karen Neuburger, Vera Bradley and more. The campaign has been covered in numerous newspapers, form Alaska to Arkansas, Nebraska to New Jersey and everywhere in between. It has been mentioned in several magazines, including Pink Magazine, Memory Makers Magazine, Country Women, Teen People, Today's Christian Woman, and Memphis Women.
We encourage you to join the celebration!
Here at UNT, Gamma Beta we will be celebrating all month long starting with a purse drive for a battered women's shelter. At the beginning of September we will distribute empty boxes to all of the sorority houses and ask them to join our campaign to instill confidence in women! By the end of September last year we had collected 200+ purses and donated them to a battered women's shelter in North Richland Hills, Texas. In addition to our purse drive, we will be hosting weekly events geared towards instilling confidence in women in our area. Please check the calendar for event times and dates.
