Our History
Two women got together in 2010 with the idea to create a non-collegiate social sorority in Australia. Gathering their friends and women they thought would make a great contribution, they set about founding a sorority that would strengthen their existing friendship by adding the bond of sisterhood. Social events were planned to be the main focus of the sisterhood, but with a definite streak of philanthropy as well, Delta Kappa Nu was founded in May 2011.
