Fall Rush 2023
The sisters of alpha Kappa Delta Phi Sorority (aKDPhi), Theta Chapter invite you to meet our vibrant sisterhood at our Fall 2023 Recruitment: In Aeternum.
Come meet new friends, indulge in delicious free food, and learn more about the sisters who bring out the best in each other. Find yourself looking forward to infinite possibilities in your future while remembering what we love about our past with aKDPhi – the oldest Asian-interest sorority at Penn as well as the only international Asian-interest sorority.
What is alpha Kappa Delta Phi?
alpha Kappa Delta Phi is the largest, fastest-growing, and only international Asian-interest sorority in the nation, with 60+ chapters and over 9,000 sisters. aKDPhi is Asian-interest, but NOT Asian-exclusive! Although we strive to promote Asian awareness in the community, we welcome women from all diverse cultural backgrounds and encourage the expression of the individual.
What is rush/recruitment?
Rush/Recruitment is a 2-week period where you’ll have the opportunity to learn more about our sisterhood and get to know sisters individually in a casual, engaging environment. Every Rush event is free of charge and non-binding.
