alpha Kappa Delta Phi was established at the University of California at Berkeley on February 7, 1990. The founding sisters dedicated themselves to establishing a strong and lasting organization which would provide Asian-American women the opportunity to participate in the Greek system. Through the hard work and determination of sisters everywhere, alpha Kappa Delta Phi has since grown into the largest Asian-American interest sorority in the country, with 44 chapters nationwide.

    On May 13, 2006, thirteen dedicated ladies established the 41st chapter of alpha Kappa Delta Phi at Duke University. United by the common hope of forming an everlasting sisterhood, we define our sorority by the ideals of sisterhood, scholarship, leadership, service, and Asian awareness, while encouraging the expression of the individual. We seek to empower ourselves as women, be an active force within the community, and support each other in achieving personal and collective goals. Through road trips, regional sisterhood conferences, and an annual national convention, tight-knit bonds are formed not only amongst members of our own chapter, but sisters from various backgrounds, schools, and regions. With an emphasis on cultural awareness and service, aKDPhi is dedicated to fostering cultural understanding and unity, and promoting breast cancer awareness through the Susan G. Komen Foundation, our national philanthropy. We continue to learn and develop both as unique individuals and as loving sisters, forever united as bright young women standing together in love and friendship. Underlying our strength and devotion is one incredible sisterhood that makes us family.
