Kappa Delta

Definition

A historically southern sorority with a reputation for attracting blue-blooded debutantes and trust-fund beneficiaries who summer in the Hamptons and winter in Palm Beach. Known for selective recruitment practices that allegedly favor country club connections, legacy status, and parental donation history—because sisterhood is eternal, but endowments are forever.

Example Usage

She's rushing Kappa Delta this fall, which makes sense since her mom was chapter president and just endowed a new wing of the student union.
