Kappa Alpha Lambda is in the process of expanding and extending the benefits of Membership to Aspiring women across America. Interested ladies will find an in-depth description of the Kappa Alpha Lambda Expansion Process below.
Colonies consist of a group of young women in an area who have an expressed interest in, or are current Members of, Kappa Alpha Lambda. They must have a desire to serve their community & make an impact by bringing the Sorority to their area.
Requirements to be considered for Colony status are:
1. A minimum of 5 Interested ladies willing to work toward the creation of a Colony.
2. Submission of Individual Applications of Interest, as well as a group Expansion Application, including an Interest Group roster.
3. Regular contact with a Grand Chapter Official, to maintain guidance on the process of becoming an approved Colony. 4. Ten hours of community service as a group (a portion of these hours count toward the individual service requirement).
4. Acceptance into the Kappa Alpha Lambda Sorority, Inc. MIP.
5. A complete Expansion Process Packet on file with the Sorority’s National Offices.
Further information concerning the Expansion Process will be given upon review of the Interest Group by the Grand Chapter.
We look forward to working with you as you continue to aspire toward Membership in Kappa Alpha Lambda. If you are a member of a group interested in starting the Expansion Process at this time, please reply to this post & send a message to our <a href=”mailto:membership@kappaalphalambda.org”>National Membership Committee</a>.

We LOVE to answer questions about our Sorority! If there’s something you’d like to know, leave the question in the comments! We’ll answer it here, and possibly add it to the FAQ section of the natioanl webpage.
So, you want to become a Member AND start a colony?
We thank you for your interest in our speKtAcuLar Sorority! We have a Sisterhood like no other, and are looking to expand & extend that Sisterhood to women across the country.
The first step to starting a colony in your area is to fill out an Application of Interest on our National website. You can do that here.
Once that step is complete, you’ll be contacted by a Member of the Sorority about how to move forward. Be sure to fill out your application TODAY! We are accepting Applications of Interest for our Fall Membership Intake right now!
If your friends feel the same way you do, (and we’re sure they do), tell them to get their Applications in ASAP. We have big plans for the next few months…
“Pursuing Kappa Alpha Lambda was my way of finally finding like-minded, extraordinarily influential Women of Color, and BEST of all - Lesbians with class! What could be better? NOTHING! For me, finding Kappa Alpha Lambda was like finding “home;” a safe place to be Me, without being judged for it.
When I began my research on LGBT organizations, I was impressed by the depth of Kappa’s Mission, its Facets, the strides completed, and the plans for the Sorority’s future. I knew that this is where I belonged, where my heart was searching for all along!
Finally, I’d found women who want to make a lasting difference in this world… women who want to leave a legacy for the following generations for our community, and society as a whole.
After ongoing interactions with the Ladies of Kappa, it was confirmed. I saw what I strove to be in them -
“I saw mentors, friends, and women that I would love to call my sister. I saw women who were sophisticated, independent thinkers, who blazed the path for social improvement. I saw my place among them.“
Now that I’m a Lady of Kappa Alpha Lambda Sorority, Incorporated, I know this is where I belong! Life is so KAPtivating on this side; simply beautiful… I’m home.”
