about aKDphi
alpha Kappa Delta Phi
alpha Kappa Delta Phi was established at the University of California at Berkeley in the Fall of 1989 and recognized by the College Panhellenic Association on February 7, 1990. The founding sisters—Susan Kim, Fannie Pon, Jill Yoshimura, and Reina Yuan—dedicated themselves to establishing a strong and lasting organization which would provide Asian American women the opportunity to participate in the Greek system. Soon after being recognized by the College Panhellenic Association, the founding sisters brought together a diverse group of women who shared with them the goals of sisterhood, scholarship, and leadership. These ideals were to later set the foundation for alpha Kappa Delta Phi's purpose.
The love and generosity that each member had for the organization was instrumental to the growth of alpha Kappa Delta Phi's reputation as a sorority, as well as to the forging of unbreakable friendships. The sisterhood has since then spread to prominent university campuses across the country. To meet the needs of the growing sisterhood, the National Board of alpha Kappa Delta Phi was established in May of 1993 at the National Convention in Santa Barbara, California.​
It is the sincere wish of the founding sisters that alpha Kappa Delta Phi continue to promote Asian awareness in the community and leadership opportunities for women by providing each woman with the resources, unique sisterly support and understanding to achieve her goals in life.
Chapter History
of Boston University

The eight founding sisters were determined to be part of the first Asian-Interest sorority on Boston University's campus and set a strong foundation for the future sisters to follow. alpha Kappa Delta Phi is still Boston University's first and only recognized Asian-Interest sorority on campus.
Our purpose
The purpose of this Asian-American interest sorority is to promote sisterhood, scholarship, leadership, and Asian-American awareness in the University and in the community, while encouraging the expression of the individual. The sorority is composed of highly motivated women with diverse backgrounds, interests, and fields of study. Each woman, however, shares a strong bond of love, friendship, and sisterhood. With a supportive network of sisters, each woman can strive to fulfill her personal, academic, and career goals.
