Kappa Kappa Kappa was founded in 1901 by seven young ladies attending the Girls’ Classical School founded by May Wright Sewall in Indianapolis. To ensure that Tri Kappa would continue beyond their school days each member was to start a chapter in her hometown. No one of that small group would have believed that Kappa Kappa Kappa would become a thriving organization composed of Active and Associate
chapters across Indiana. Tri Kappa was later incorporated and is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. To our knowledge, it is the only Greek letter organization limited by the boundaries of one
state. On a statewide level, Tri Kappa in part, supports the Riley Children's Foundation, the Cheer Guild servicing Riley Hospital, Camp Riley, Ronald McDonald House, Best Buddies of Indiana, Hoosier Salon,
academic scholarship awards, fine arts scholarship awards, non-traditional scholarship awards, "Math Counts" at Rose Hulman University, the "We the People" program, and the Beryl Showers Holland Fellowship at Indiana University. Chapters support many more groups both financially and with their time and talents locally. Tri Kappa gives away approximately $1.5 million annually throughout the state. Locally, Albion Tri Kappa holds different fundraising events within the community throughout the year. We can be found during the Chain O' Lakes Festival around the courthouse square every June selling walking tacos and IBC root beer. In September you can find us selling the popular Mishler's porkburgers at the Harvest Festival. We also host our annual Bunny Breakfast each year the Saturday of Easter weekend. Using the monies raised through these fundraisers, Albion Eta Theta is able to provide scholarships to our Central Noble schools, provide funding and support to other local organizations and events, and promote fine arts in the community. The sisters of Albion Eta Theta are community leaders who acknowledge the need for service, commitment, and the development of a better community for all individuals. All events, donations, and actions are decided upon with the foundational roots of charity, culture, and education for the development of a better community. Mission: The Tri Kappa purpose, is “to bring women into close, unselfish relationship for the promotion of charity, culture, and education” throughout the state of Indiana.
