| | Abstract: | The Kappa Kappa Gamma Cleveland Alumnae Association (1901-present) was founded in 1901 as the Cleveland Alumnae Association of Kappa Kappa Gamma in Cleveland, Ohio. The early goal was to demonstrate women's ability of intellectual advancement equal to that of men. In 1938 a Cleveland West Shore Alumnae Association was chartered, causing the name of the Cleveland Alumnae Association to be changed to the Cleveland East Alumnae Association. Around 2003, the Cleveland chapters merged, changing the name back to the Cleveland Alumnae Association. The Cleveland Alumnae Association follows a path set by the parent organization of first supporting its sisters, then participating in local service projects and finally, supporting the greater good. With these goals in mind, they act in a support and advisory role for the undergraduate chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma at John Carroll University, Eta Zeta. They also participate in several philanthropic activities. The collection consists of budgets, charts, correspondence, dues statements, invitations, membership directories and rolls, minutes, newsletters, publicity material, programs, songs, and scrapbooks. | |
