The sisters of alpha Kappa Delta Phi like to invite all ladies at the University of Maryland to aKDPhi Spring Rush 2007. As one of 43 chapters nationwide, we are the largest Asian interest sorority in the nation and the first to be established here on campus. There is nothing to lose from rushing because all events are free and rides provided. Just bring yourself and an open mind, and be prepared for fun :).

Please see our flyer below (as with all of our flyers, this was designed by one of our very own sisters!)

Midyear Retreat is a time for all Presidents and VP Internals to reunite in one setting to not only have fun but also to work hard and settle sorority business. It is a way to ensure consistency among all our chapters while establishing stronger bonds with sisters from all 43 chapters.

Thank you so much to the sisters at UIC who not only hosted the event but also housed us for a week! You all are the best!!

Quick Facts:

1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer.
Minority women have a higher risk of dying from breast cancer.
In 1997 one woman every 13 minutes lost her life to the disease.
Mammograms can detect breast cancer up to two years before a lump can be found
This year more than 211,240 women and 1,690 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer.

Our Contribution
What you can do: Educate yourself about breast cancer; support the cause by wearing the national pink breast cancer ribbon; donate to help find a cure.
How: Stop by Stamp Union, where aKDPhi will be tabling with educational materials, pink ribbons, and a donations basket for the Susan G. Komen Foundation.
When: During the month of October; Mondays-Thursdays 11am - 4:00pm

The Pink Ribbon Challenge
The Breast Cancer site is behind in reaching its goal of 750 free mammograms to women in need. With only 13 days left, the pink ribbon challenge is in dire need of your help. You yourself can make a big difference with the simple click of a mouse. Please tell your friends to help!

Estee Lauder Campaign
For 13 years the Estee Lauder Companies, Inc. has contributed significantly to Breast Cancer Awareness through its celebrated worldwide campaign. In particular:

October Pink Products
Special purchases from Estee Lauder, Tommy Hilfiger, Aveda, Bobbi Brown, Clinique, Donna Karan, and many others will contribute to the research fund for the disease. A list of products and brands can be found here.

6th Annual Global Illuminations
Hundreds of world famous landmarks, buildings, and monuments are being illuminated in pink light to help spread breast cancer awareness. Some of the participants this year include the Empire State Building, Niagara Falls, Tokyo Tower, Seoul City Hall, St. Louis Gateway Arch, Lycabettus Hill, and hundreds of others.
