What is Recruitment?
Usually held during the first three weeks of a semester, recruitment is an opportunity for women who are interested in joining the sorority to participate in various events organized by the sorority. It is a time to meet current sisters and to get an idea of what the chapter is like. Rush provides an chance to make an informed decision about whether or not joining a sorority is right for you.
What obligations are there during our recruitment process?
All recruitment events are open to the public. There are no obligations on when you do decide to participate. To be considered for an interview, all potential new members are strongly encouraged to attend one informational meeting and two additional events to learn more about the sorority and the sisters.
Do you have to be Asian to join?
Absolutely not. aKDPhi is an Asian-American Interest Sorority and we welcome all interested young women to come out and meet the sisters. We are sorority composed of very diverse cultural backgrounds and lifestyles. We are proud of that fact.
Why alpha Kappa Delta Phi at Penn State?
alpha Kappa Delta Phi today has 66 Chapters across the Nation, being the Largest Asian-interest sorority with over thousands of sisters. aKDPhi offers many opportunities for leadership and growth both in the sorority as well as on campus. Being at Penn State for more than a decade, we have crossed over one hundred sisters with very strong alumnae support. Our members belong to many other organizations on campus with high leadership roles. Being at Penn State for more than 15 years, we were one of the founders of Multicultural Greek Council and Asian-Pacific American Coalition. Since then, many of our sisters have held executive board positions in both. We are involved in several community service events throughout the year including volunteering at nursing homes, dedicating hours for blood drives and sorting clothes and food for the local community. Our National Philanthropy is Breast Cancer Awareness and all the proceeds we collect are donated to the Avon Breast Cancer Crusades. We have an annual Think Pink Charity Ball every year dedicated to raising Breast Cancer Awareness. We build deep relationships with our sisters that last forever. Being in a sorority means always having someone to rely on and having a home away from home. Ultimately, everyone has a different reason to join the sorority. Recruitment gives you the opportunity to find yours.

What is "New Member Process"?
