On May 13, 2006 the 41st chapter of alpha Kappa Delta Phi was established by seven sophomores (Duke '08) and six freshmen (Duke '09), aided by their host chapter, Johns Hopkins University, and their pledge mom, Donna Wang of University of California, Santa Barbara. As a group dedicated to the sorority's values of sisterhood, scholarship, leadership, service, and Asian awareness, our sisters can be found as active participants in a wide variety of campus activities, such as Red Cross, The Chronicle, Duke's award-winning newspaper, Duke Symphony Orchestra, Duke China Care, a program that aids in acclimating Chinese adoptees, and Duke Emergency Medical Services (training as EMS). In addition, a large percentage of the sisters also hold jobs or do research at the Duke Hospital, VA Hospital, and/or various labs on campus. Some of the more extraordinary sisters have found themselves performing violin for the Presidents of Taiwan and Russia, or even getting their research published in a journal.

A spotlight also goes out to the national philanthropy, breast cancer. Even before they crossed, this intrepid group was already participating in events that demonstrated this dedication, such as Relay for Life, a walkathon for cancer, and the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill aKDPhi's Charity Ball for breast cancer. Make sure to look out for aKDPhi and upcoming events in October, the Breast Cancer Awareness month!
