Kappa Alpha Theta began its second century in a time of peace and prosperity. Greek membership expanded as traditionally all-male campuses opened their doors to women. During the 1980s, Theta chapters were established at Centre, Stetson, Westminster, Dartmouth, Dickinson, Princeton, Virginia Polytechnic Institute, Villanova, Randolph Macon, Bucknell, Lehigh, California-Irvine, Yale, Columbia, Chicago, Guelph, Richmond, Washington & Jefferson, Colgate, Wofford, California Polytechnic, and Washington and Lee. Traditional activities that had endured over many decades were continued, including parent weekends, fraternity exchanges, intramurals, formals, and pledge dances. Thetas were involved in a myriad of campus and community service activities, and many Thetas also held part-time jobs and received credit for internships. Phones were installed in individual rooms, and computers became a part of college life. Busses were hired for party transportation to avoid drinking and driving problems. Thetas from different campuses met each other as they participated in intercollegiate athletic competitions. Title IX, passed in the 1970s, was bringing more opportunities for women in athletics than ever existed before. Chapter programming showed concern for the health of members, and eating disorders, alcohol dependency, and AIDS awareness were addressed. Fraternity programming also focused on scholarship, and most chapters attained a rank above all-sorority and all-campus averages.
