Founded in 1870 as the first Greek letter fraternity for women, Kappa Alpha Theta values its history and takes pride in its founders. The Omega chapter of Kappa Alpha Theta was founded in 1890, after three sorority sisters transferred from the University of the Pacific to U.C. Berkeley and petitioned for a charter. Kappa Alpha Theta is the first sorority to be established in U.C. Berkeley and continuously remain on the U.C. campus.
