Kappa Gamma Pi

Purpose

The purpose of the Kappa Gamma Pi Society is to strive for a high standard of personal Christian excellence, service, and scholarship among members; to encourage individual and group initiative and participation in local and national church and secular affairs; and to awaken a spirit of Christian leadership among the undergraduates of Kappa affiliated colleges and universities.

About

The Greek phrase Kappa Gamma Pi stands for Catholic Women Leaders. The original name has been retained because of its importance in the Society's History. However, both non-Catholics and men are welcomed to the membership of Kappa Gamma Pi each year.

The motto of the Society is Faith and Service. Membership in Kappa Gamma Pi is a promise for the future, to continue in service to church and community. Members are chosen because they have already demonstrated this commitment, and are expected to continue in this leadership role after graduation.

Eligibility

Both Undergraduate and Graduate students graduating in December 2020, January 2021 or May 2021 are eligible to apply. Applications and Endorsements will be accepted until February 15, 2021. To qualify for membership in Kappa Gamma Pi, a nominee must:

• Be a leader in co-curricular or volunteer projects, on campus or off-campus and have an outstanding record of service and leadership.
• Have an exceptional scholastic record and have attained a cumulative QPA of 3.50 or higher.
• Be willing to accept membership, knowing that acceptance is a commitment of personal responsibility for future service and leadership in church , civic, and Kappa Gamma Pi sponsored activities.
• Undergraduate students must also have attended Marywood for the last two years. 

Marywood University nominates 15-20 inductees each year.

Once the committee has had the opportunity to review all applications, we will meet to select this year’s nominees. Kappa nominees and their families and friends will be invited to the installation ceremony in April.
