About Tri Kappa
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." - Margaret Mead
Tri Kappa is a philanthropic organization that exists only within the boundaries of the state of Indiana. The organization was founded in 1901 in Indianapolis by a group of seven young ladies at the Girls' Classical School founded by May Wright Sewall. Each was to begin a chapter in her hometown. From these beginnings, Tri Kappa has grown to 147 active chapters and 123 associate chapters with almost 10,000 members.
Each Tri Kappa chapter has special projects in its community for charity, culture, and education. Local chapters, including Zeta Iota, also support statewide projects.
