Do I have to be Asian to join?
Absolutely not. Just because we are Asian-interest, does not mean that we are Asian-exclusive. As an organization that seeks to promote cultural awareness, we hold the concept of equality in the highest regard. alpha Kappa Delta Phi does not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, age, national origin, or sexual orientation. We are an all-inclusive sorority. Any woman who shares similar interests and values is encouraged to join regardless of their own cultural identity. alpha Kappa Delta Phi is composed of the diverse backgrounds and lifestyles of each individual sister. Each member adds her unique experience and spirit to the sorority, building the sisterhood that we are so proud of. We encourage ambitious and motivated women interested in enhancing their college years (and beyond) to attend recruitment or start a chapter.
What is a bid and how do I get one?
What is expected of a new member?
Do you haze?
No. The sisters of alpha Kappa Delta Phi would never subject you to any physically harassment or make you do things against your will.
A bid is a formal invitation from the house to join. In order to qualify for an interview, you will need to attend at least two rush events and one general interest meeting.
The purpose of sorority education consists of education about the sorority and chapter. New members should demonstrate a desire and ability to support alpha Kappa Delta Phi’s sorority standards. Hazing, defined as “any action taken or situation created to produce mental or physical discomfort, embarrassment, harassment, or ridicule,” is not condoned nor tolerated.
