alpha Kappa Delta Phi was established at the University of California, Berkeley in fall of 1989 and recognized by the College Panhellenic Association on February 7, 1990. The fourteen founding sisters dedicated themselves to creating 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 Colle
ge Panhellenic Assocation, the founding sisters brought together a diverse group of women who shared with them the goals of sisterhood, scholarship, and leadership. The love and dedication 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 important 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 continues to promote Asian awareness in the community and leadership among women by providing each woman with the resources, unique sisterly support, and understanding to achieve her goals in life. The Penn State Nutorious Chapter was founded in 1994.
