Pansy Patch FAQ

Please share with others that you have given! When members receive pansies, they may feel inspired to honor another sister, and they honor another by sending more pansies. There’s no better way to celebrate sisterhood than to pay it forward.

You can also inspire others to give by sharing personal stories about the impact of Kappa Alpha Theta on your life and the lives of those close to you.

Honorees will receive an email notification that you honored them with a virtual pansy. Theta members will receive notification to the email on file with Theta headquarters. If you select a member who does not have an email on file with Theta headquarters or who has chosen to opt out of email communication, you will be notified on the donation form. You are welcome to send an email directly to this member if you have her information, but she will not receive an automated email from Theta Foundation.

Emails come from Kappa Alpha Theta <no-reply@kappaalphatheta.org> with the subject line: "Your virtual pansy awaits." Honorees should check all their folders to be sure the message does not arrive in the “junk” folder.

You can send up to 15 pansies on the $10 pansy form for the special Thetas in your life! If you need to send more, you can reopen the form to order more pansies.

Yes, you can make a gift in memory of a deceased loved one, Theta, or friend, but no email notification will be sent.
