Kappa Kappa Gamma (ΚΚΓ) is a collegiate women's fraternity, founded at Monmouth College, in Monmouth, Illinois.

This makes Kappa Kappa Gamma one of the oldest women's Greek-letter societies in existence today.

Kappa Kappa Gamma is one of the largest fraternities for women in America. Currently, there are over 130 chapters in both the United States and Canada. There are approximately 300 alumnae associations around the world. Since its founding in 1870, nearly 240,000 members have been initiated into Kappa Kappa Gamma.
Kappa Kappa Gamma is a women's fraternity, because it was founded before the term 'sorority' came into use. However, because it admits only women, it is usually referred to as a sorority. Kappa Kappa Gamma is also referred to as "KKG" and "Kappa."
