Pansy Patch FAQ

: Money raised from Pansy Patch 2024 will benefit the Theta Forever Fund. This fund supports scholastic, educational, and leadership opportunities to ensure the Theta experience is here for generations to come. Your support bridges the gap between the realities of educational and leadership expenses and the memories Thetas make on campuses and in their college chapters. The Theta experience is richer for every program, every personal growth opportunity, every sister who lends a helping hand, because of your generosity.

: Pansy Patch is the perfect opportunity to honor and remember Thetas close to you. Each pansy donation helps Thetas achieve their dreams and reach their fullest potential.

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. No matter how you share the message, the spirit of Pansy Patch takes hold and quickly, the Pansy Patch blooms bright!

: When you purchase a pansy, honorees will receive an email notification 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 20 pansies on the $10 pansy form for the special Thetas in your life! 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.
