All throughout the state of Indiana, you’ll find members of Tri Kappa sorority, a women’s philanthropic organization dedicated to three pillars of service: charity, culture, and education. In fact, there are approximately 8,000 Tri Kappas that make up nearly 250 chapters in the Hoosier state. For years (since 1901, to be exact), Tri Kappa has served organizations like Riley Children’s Hospital and the Hoosier Art Salon and has provided academic and fine arts scholarships.

W
e got a chance to chat with the president of the Alpha Lambda branch about the latest charitable efforts from the Warsaw chapter.
How is Tri Kappa involved in the Warsaw community? We do work within our community that extends pretty far. Through our education work, we provide scholarships for local students, support Boomerang Backpacks (and other similar programs), sponsor an art show for local students, and an honor reception for High School Honor students. Through our Charity work, we support a ton of [other] local organizations, for example: Fellowship Missions, Baker Youth Club, Salvation Army, KC Riley Kids fund, local food pantries, and so much more.
One of your service pillars is ‘Culture.” How do you support this focus in the community? Through our Culture work, we support the Wagon Wheel, local music programs through the schools and the community, the Navy Band ,and many other groups. A lot of people have no idea how much work we do for our community, as much of it is behind the scenes!
