The first Greek-letter campus organization for women, with a chapter at the University of Alabama, is taking a rare stand against budget cuts by the Trump Administration that have threatened its charity partner.

Kappa Alpha Theta is urging members through its website to contact members of Congress regarding cuts to the sorority’s charitable partner, National CASA/GAL, which appoints special advocates in courts for children who have experiencing abuse or neglect.

But as The Wall Street Journal reports, it’s a rare stand for an organization not known for political activism.

According to CASA/GAL, the U.S. Justice Department on April 22 received notice that its three grants were being terminated, along with 360 other grant terminations for other organizations.

The reason given was that the grants “no longer effectuate the program goals or agency priorities,” which includes “protecting American children.”

“Since that is in fact the mission of the CASA/GAL program, we strongly disagree with the decision to terminate the grants,” CASA/GAL said in a statement. The organization announced it was suspending all services and support while it appealed the decision.

Kappa Alpha Theta responded, saying was “saddened” by the cuts.

“However, we continue our unwavering commitment to National CASA/GAL and its critical mission of improving the lives of children in foster care,” Kappa Alpha Theta stated on its website.

“During the past 35+ years, Thetas generously contributed millions of dollars and countless volunteer hours to this important cause and organization, and we look forward to partnering with CASA/GAL for years to come.”

Attempts to reach the sorority for further comment were not immediately successful.

Kappa Alpha Theta Fraternity was founded in Indiana in 1870. The Delta Omicron Chapter of Kappa Alpha Theta was installed at University of Alabama in 1967, according to the chapter website.

Grace Terry, 22, is a four-year member of her chapter at the University of Alabama who graduated this month. The Journal reported that she posted info on social media about the CASA/GAL cuts and called her representatives.

But everyone may not be on board for political reasons. For example, Terry said she and her fellow members were not sure back in 2022 when Roe v. Wade was overturned whether they should make a public statement.

“There’s just going to be a political divide in our chapter if there’s 300 to 400 girls,” Terry said. “That’s just how it is.”

Even the national statement on the cuts stops short of a call for action, she said.

“I’m sure a lot of people would not be happy with that as well either,” Terry said. “It seems a little passive.”
