Why alpha Kappa Delta Phi?
“I was in search of a sense of belonging after growing up in an environment with a low Asian population where I didn’t feel I could be my authentic self. As someone of both Filipino and Peruvian descent, navigating my identity was challenging, and I spent years suppressing my Filipino heritage before learning to embrace both sides of who I am. When I found aKDPhi, I connected with sisters who shared similar experiences, which inspired me to fully engage in the community. I hope to build meaningful connections while giving back through service and academic excellence.”

I grew up as a first-generation Vietnamese-American feeling disconnected from my culture and lacking a space to explore my identity. aKDPhi’s core values of compassion & authenticity strongly align with my vision and personal goals. Through aKDPhi, I hope to further embrace my heritage while continuing to build a community where women can connect, grow, and uplift one another.
