Mission
Kappa Gamma International serves as the alumnus body of the Kappa Gamma Fraternity at our beloved alma mater, Gallaudet University. We pride ourselves in being the world’s first and foremost secret society of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. Since 1863, we have cultivated over 1,901 Brothers to serve a humanitarian purpose in the lives of our community in every corner of our cherished planet.
From administrative offices to villages in third world countries, the Kappa Gamma man seeks to avail himself as a resource for increasing cultural understanding, accessibility, deaf pride, and social justice. While every Kappa Gamma Man’s time is limited, we firmly believe that there is nearly any time to waste.
​
Beyond that, kappa Gamma International serves as a collaborative governing body for the Kappa Gamma Fraternity and as a catalyst to further expand our esteemed purpose through fundraisers, scholarships, and our alumni chapters.
