All Kappa Phi Gamma Sorority, Inc. Chapters and Charters prohibit hazing. All sorority members are required to attend a workshop designed to teach and enforce the risk management policies, including details about safety, alcohol use and abuse, and hazing. Members are expected to follow policies of their respective schools, councils, cities, states, and country.

Sororities are rooted in principles that foster academic achievement, student involvement, leadership opportunities, community service, connections with culture, and life-long friendships. Joining a sorority will encourage members to get involved in the community and the university to enhance their college experience.

The time commitment varies depending on whether the member is a new member or an active member. When new members participate in the education program, they spend time developing leadership and time management skills, learn about the history and values of the sorority, and get acquainted with their new member class along with the active sisters of the chapter/charter. Active members participate in weekly chapter/charter meetings, workshops, annual philanthropies, service events, socials/mixers, sisterhood retreats, and support other organizations at their events. All members are encouraged to become involved in campus activities and leadership positions inside and outside of the chapter/charter while remembering that academics always come first.

Joining a sorority does carry a financial commitment as each chapter/charter is supported through the dues paid by each member. National dues are $55 per semester, which go toward our sorority insurance policy, scholarships, and sorority events such as our national conference. Chapter/Charter dues vary, but can range from $30 to $175 and go toward social functions, workshops, sisterhood events, and the new member education program.

Yes! All students from the Five College Consortium are welcome to rush. However, it is important to note that our rush events and New Member Education Program will be held on the UMass Amherst campus.
