Tri Kappa Iota
Valparaiso’s Heart of Service

In the heart of Valparaiso, a dynamic group of women are making a lasting impact through service, generosity, and community spirit. Tri Kappa Iota, a philanthropic sorority rooted in Charity, Culture, and Education, proudly carries out its mission by supporting local causes through hands-on volunteerism and meaningful financial contributions.

A Legacy of
Leadership & Kindness

Founded in Indiana in 1901, Tri Kappa has been a cornerstone of community service for over a century. Our Valparaiso Iota Chapter, established in 1903, is home to over 100 dedicated women who unite under shared values of friendship, leadership, and social responsibility. Together, we build stronger communities through small acts of kindness and big-hearted service.

Fundraising With Purpose

Each year, the women of Tri Kappa lota work tirelessly to raise funds that directly benefit local students and grants for nonprofit organizations in Valparaiso. Signature fundraisers such as the Annual Gala, Bingo Night, and Taste of Valparaiso are not only exciting community events-they are vital to supporting scholarships for area students and grants for local nonprofits.

100% Community Impact

Every dollar raised by Tri Kappa Iota goes directly back into the Valparaiso community. That means 100% of profits support local scholarships, grants, and charitable initiatives—ensuring your donation makes a real difference.
