History
Kappa Epsilon Psi was founded on April 4, 2011,[1][2] in Pembroke Pines, Florida, as an alternative to traditional Greek letter organizations for female service members. KEY is the second Greek-lettered sorority established and incorporated by U.S. Armed Forces women.[3][4]
Founding members
The founding members are Moneka Smith-Dailey (Army Reserves) and Shica Hill (Army National Guard).
Objectives
Kappa Epsilon Psi has three objectives:[5]
Honor our past female service members - Annually each active chapter will honor a female veteran (over the age of 65). The female service member is inducted as an honorary KEY member and her legacy/military service is documented.
Unite current service members - We aspire to unite female service members of all branches of the U.S. Armed Forces. Membership is open to all female service members who are or have served honorably. Our goal is to have a member or active chapter on every military installation - stateside and abroad.
Mentor future female leadership - Candidates with less than two years of military service are paired with a Big Sister that has more time in service & wisdom to share. Members that are retired from military service are paired with new members who wish to seek similar career paths in the civilian sector.
