Kappa Alpha Theta was founded after Bettie Locke Hamilton was invited to wear the badge of Phi Gamma Delta fraternity. She asked if this meant that she would be a fully initiated member of the fraternity. She was told "No." She refused the badge and became determined to establish the first Greek letter fraternity specifically for women. There is a special bond between Theta and Phi Gamma Delta because of this beginning.
In addition, Bettie Locke's father was a Beta Theta Pi. He helped her study and establish the foundations of Kappa Alpha Theta.
