About

alpha Kappa Delta Phi (aKDPhi) is the first and only international Asian-interest sorority with 48 chapters located at colleges and universities across the United States and in Canada. Thousands of undergraduate and alumnae sisters support the rapidly growing network of strong and successful women in the organization. alpha Kappa Delta Phi is part of the National APIA Panhellenic Association (NAPA), which it helped charter in 2006.

At the University of Chicago, our chapter was founded by a group of 17 dedicated undergraduate women over a course of 3 years. In the Fall of 2011, we proudly and officially chartered aKDPhi university under the mentorship of the current aKDPhi national board and a community of aKDPhi alumni who attended different universities across the nation, including NYU, UC Irvine, Stanford, USF, UIUC, UIC, Purdue, UVA, and OU.

Mission Statement

Our mission is to provide sisterhood among women, scholarship, leadership and Asian awareness in the University and community. Further, to provide a support group for those in their times of need and to encourage the making of successful women. To accomplish our mission, we will:

• Maintain the highest levels of quality and integrity;
• Create a climate that encourages teamwork, creativity, and innovation; and above all,
• Give our unmoving and absolute support and encouragement to those we hold dear to our hearts - our sisters.

We will measure our success in how well we are regarded by our peers, represented by our community, and supported by our sisters.
