History

Kappa Phi was founded in 1916 by Mrs. Gordon B. Thompson, the former Harriet Sterling, who was married to the student minister at the University of Kansas. The society had experienced growth through schools where there was an existing Wesley Foundation. There were 25 chapters in such universities by 1938 and by 1967, Kappa Phi had a presence in over 33 colleges and universities. Today, it has over 50 active and alumnae chapters.
