Hey there! It seemed that a new layout for the xanga was needed. The VTaKDPhi website has also been given a face lift. To check it out, click here. The picture album has finally been added; however, because we like to take so many pictures & it hasn't been up in the past, we only have a few galleries completed at this time. It will be updated bi-weekly, so feel free to stop by every so often and check out the new pictures. We also plan on adding some other features in the near future.

Due to the fact that a lot of pictures used on here have been moved, all previous xanga entries will be unaccessable to the public to keep the site looking nice and neat. We will try to keep this updated once school starts. For now, keep checking back for rush info for Fall 06.

Thanks,
Virginia Tech aKDPhi.

Alpha Kappa Delta Phi was established in the Winter of 1990 at the University of California at Berkeley. The four founding sisters, Susan Kim, Fannie Pon, Jill Yoshimura, and Reina Yuan, wanted to establish an organization that emphasized Asian Awareness while also allowing Asian American women the opportunity to participate in the Greek System. Since then aKDPhi has become known as the largest nationwide Asian American Sorority with 43 chapters across the nation and is still growing...

The purpose of this Asian American interest sorority is to promote sisterhood, scholarship, leadership, and Asian American awareness on campus and in the community. 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.

Our mission is to encourage sisterhood among women, promote scholarship, leadership and Asian awareness in the University, and aide the community through service projects, voluneteer work, and charity fundraising. Further, to provide a support group for those in their times of need and to encourage the development of successful women. To accomplish our mission, we will:

* Maintain the highest levels of quality and integrity
* Create an environment that encourages teamwork, creativity, and innovation
* Give our absolute support and encouragement to those 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.

      In the Spring of 2001, the Virginia Tech interest group for alpha Kappa Delta Phi began to develop in order to provide Asian American women with a source of sisterhood, leadership, scholarship and service. Strong Individuals Striving Together As Sisters (SISTAS) was established by co-founders Tina Park and Alice Vuong with the intention of laying the foundation for a chapter of the sorority on campus. Following their belief that the sorority would provide Asian American women with a support system not otherwise found on campus, the ladies of SISTAS worked persistently to become a group that would acquire the respect and interest from the Virginia Tech campus, surrounding community of Blacksburg, and the existing chapters of alpha Kappa Delta Phi.

       Joined by Kokoro Fujiyama, Marylynn Jansak, Nicole Shin, Erica Sok, Carol Tsai, Hannah Xiu, and Melody Yok; the 9 women worked together to lay the foundation of friendship and sisterhood. Through their dedicated efforts, the ladies of SISTAS impacted the community with their message of Asian Awareness, sisterhood and charity. In the Spring of 2002, the sisters of the Theta Chapter of alpha Kappa Delta Phi at the University of Pennsylvania, the first full-fledged chapter of on the East Coast, was granted the privilege of hosting the pledging colony of Virginia Tech. After almost a year of work in addition to the continued support of their host chapter, UPenn, and pledge mom, Margaret Shea, the ladies at Virginia Tech were able to realize their own potential and abilities while reaching their long-held goals.

       On April 14, 2002, the ladies of SISTAS proudly became the 32nd chapter of the nation's largest and most prestigious Asian American sorority, alpha Kappa Delta Phi. 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.
