The Dawn of the Idea
Our Founder conceived our sisterhood on February 24th, 2009 in Houston, TX.
Kappa Theta Epsilon is a national sorority that inspires women to strive for excellence and commit to action in their communities. Through our focus on sisterhood, fidelity, accomplishment, and service, KTE encourages women to reach new heights in business and life.
Kappa Theta Epsilon strives to cultivate leadership and a culture of success among lesbian women of color.
The vision of Kappa Theta Epsilon is to impact the life of each member through sisterhood and organizational programs, enhance the communities we serve through philanthropy, and lead by inspiration and positive example.
The political climate of the early 2000’s played a significant role in the creation of Kappa Theta Epsilon. The constant negative portrayal of lesbians and gays in mainstream media, and the emergence of same-sex marriage as a political issue drove our Founder to look for a medium to create change.
The Sorority was founded on the morning of February 24th. Its mission would be to serve the community through social & political activism while embracing sisterhood as its primary aim.
