alpha Kappa Delta Phi is the largest, strongest, and fastest-growin Asian interest sorority in the nation. With 43 chapters nationwide and more than 1000 sisters, the possibilities are endless! The purpose of our sorority is to promote sisterhood, scholarship, leadership, and Asian awareness throughout the University and the community, while encouraging the expression of the individual. It is our mission to provide sisterhood among women, and to promote our ideals. 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 innovations; and above all,
• Give our absolute support and encouragement to those who 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.
