In February of 1969 a new local sorority was founded on the campus of St. Lawrence University in Canton, NY. Since then Kappa Delta Sigma has continued to be grounded in the principles of faith in friendship, concern for human dignity, and respect for the individual. The sisters have maintained a high academic standing, have been leaders in all aspects of the St. Lawrence experience and have initiated many philanthropic projects while enjoying the closeness of their sisterhood. There are now over 1,200 KDS Alumnae. They have served the University in significant ways including student mentoring, admissions, fundraising, Alumni Executive Council, and the Board of Trustees. In the past few years, KDS alumnae have joined with the University to renovate and maintain the house at 53 Park Street. They have also initiated an alumnae network to support the current sisterhood as well as facilitate communication and social events. This website is one way the sisters are keeping their ties alive.
