Nashville Alumnae Chapter History

The Nashville Theta Alumnae Chapter was chartered in 1923 by a trio of alumnae from Alpha Eta-Vanderbilt, Alpha Iota-Washington University in St. Louis, and Beta Rho-Duke. We have grown into an award-winning chapter, having earned the prestigious Kappa Alpha Theta Fraternity’s Founders Award and having achieved recognition at the Golden Kite level.Nashville Thetas reconnect with long-time friends and meet new ones at our gatherings throughout the year. Join us monthly at Theta Lunch Bunch for a casual meal. Attend Founders Day, when we celebrate our 50- and 75-year Thetas. Welcome cooler weather and back-to-school at the always-popular Fall Supper. Gather with young alumnae for Nite Kite happy hours around town. Make memories at a service or personal development event.We are very fortunate to have two Kappa Alpha Theta college chapters in Nashville. Alpha Eta-Vanderbilt University was installed in 1904. Eta Phi-Belmont University was chartered in 2011. Nashville-area alumnae fill advisory boards at both chapters. Serving as mentors and advisors to collegiate members is an honor and a privilege. The Bal d’Hiver Benefit, Inc., the oldest charity ball in Nashville, is our major philanthropic event. It raises funds to support Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA), Family & Children's Service, an important partner with CASA in the Nashville community, and the Kappa Alpha Theta Foundation.
