Chapter Housing
Make KD your Home
A house is more than four walls.
Finding your home at Kappa Delta means finding a space where you belong, feel safe, and have a community of welcoming sisters. The time our sisters spend together in these facilities — studying for exams, planning chapter events and preparing for the future — makes it the place where they’ll build and strengthen the bonds of sisterhood that endure beyond the college years.

Why should I live in a KD facility?
From always having a space that makes you feel like you belong to sharing a home with your closest friends, living in a KD facility is a place where you’ll make unforgettable memories! Whether it’s a traditional home, residence hall or lodge, KD facilities are often less expensive than traditional university housing, can have additional amenities, are focused on safety, and are close to campus.
What are the support and safety measures?
The most important part of our sisterhood is creating a space that is safe and welcoming for all – including in our facilities. All Kappa Delta homes – including local house corporation owned properties – follow our health and safety guidelines and policies like monitored access, sprinkler systems, regular maintenance and inspections, and required insurance coverage.
What types of facilities are there?
So many! If it’s a place where our sisters can gather – it might be a type of housing facility! Depending on what your university campus is like, Kappa Delta housing types range from traditional homes near campus to residence halls, lodges, townhomes to just a meeting room. These might be owned by national Kappa Delta, a local house corporation or the university, but they’re all special to the members who call it home.
Does every chapter have a facility?
Not all chapters have a facility, but that’s ok! Our sisters still have a place to gather, have recruitment or hold meetings. Each university is different, but Kappa Delta still works to support the needs of our chapters and ensure they have the spaces they need.
What is Nautilus Management?
Nautilus Management is Kappa Delta’s own house corporation that owns and manages chapter housing facilities across the country. Facilities part of our Nautilus Management networks are supported by national Kappa Delta Headquarters staff. From finances to repairs and vendor management – Kappa Delta is there to help!
What is a house corporation?
A house corporation is a separate nonprofit legal entity, formed by alumnae members of Kappa Delta, for the purpose of providing a living and/or a meeting space for the chapter and its members. Kappa Delta house corporations follow all of the policies and procedures of Kappa Delta Sorority, but they are managed and overseen by a board of directors – usually a team of alumnae and collegiate members.
