Alpha Kappa delta Phi was established at
the University of California, Berkeley in
the Fall of 1989 and was recognized by
the College Panhellenic Association on
February 7, 1990 by founding sisters Susan
Kim, Fannie Pon, Jill Yoshimura, and
Reina Yuan. They dedicated themselves to
establishing a strong and lasting organization
that 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 the goals of sisterhood, scholarship, and leadership.
These ideals were to later set the foundation for Alpha Kappa delta Phi’s purpose.
In the Spring of 2001, the Virginia Tech
interest group for Alpha Kappa delta Phi
developed to provide Asian American women
with a source of sisterhood, leadership,
scholarship, and service. Following months
of hard work, on April 14, 2002, the ladies
of SISTAS proudly became the 32nd chapter
of the nation’s largest and most prestigious
Asian American sorority. Now loving and devoted
sisters of Alpha Kappa delta Phi, the
Virginia Tech Colony Chapter continues to
grow as individuals and as sisters, through love and everlasting friendship.
Alpha Kappa delta Phi proudly promotes its National Philanthropy, Breast Cancer Awareness,
a project dedicated to increasing public knowledge about the early detection of breast
cancer. Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in women in America; however,
early detection and prompt treatment can significantly reduce the suffering and death
caused by this disease. Nationwide, this organization has raised and donated over $25,000
to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Awareness Foundation. Every chapter dedicates at
least one service project in the month of October to Breast Cancer Awareness and hosts a
Breast Cancer Awareness forum, workshop, or informational booth on their campus.
