alpha Kappa Delta Phi International Sorority history

To continue the sisterhood after graduation, the National Alumnae Board of alpha Kappa Delta Phi was established in the Fall of 2002 under the initiation of the National Board Alumnae Chair, Sophia Yen, UC Berkeley alumna.

In the spring of 2005, an interest group for alpha Kappa Delta Phi Sorority Inc. at the University of South Florida began to develop.

Four years later, the sisters at the University of South Florida chapter continued to fulfill these sorority goals through their recognition onto the Unified Greek Council in 2006, recruiting forty-eight loyal sisters and leaders, and graduating eighteen Alumnae in various fields of study.

As a result, the University of South Florida Colony Chapter was granted Associate Chapter status by the National Board at the 2010 National Convention held in San Francisco, California to acknowledge the sisters’ dedicated efforts.

Through determination, community support, and love for this sisterhood, the University of South Florida Associate Chapter was granted full-fledged status at the 2014 National Convention held in Orlando Florida, becoming the Alpha Alpha Chapter of alpha Kappa Delta Phi International Sorority, Inc.

In the Spring of 2015, Minnika Hoggstrom and Ally Moraga both initiated the idea of bringing forth a women’s organization that would emphasize Asian-American awareness to Northern Illinois University.

The interest group PLUSH (Promoting Leadership through Unconditional SisterHood) was officially formed and recognized by the university on May 8th, 2016.
