What alpha Kappa Delta Phi, International Sorority Inc. does

alpha Kappa Delta Phi, International Sorority Inc. (aKDPhi) is a 501(c)(7) non-profit social club founded at the University of California at Berkeley in 1990, operating as the largest and only international Asian-interest sorority. It serves collegiate women at 60+ active university chapters across the United States and Canada, with a registered alumnae base of over 9,000 initiated members since founding. The organization is governed by a volunteer International Leadership Board and Board of Directors, with a small paid staff led by Executive Director Troylyn LeForge (a role shared with Lambda Phi Epsilon under a 2015 partnership).

The company's product portfolio is anchored by the My aKDPhi member portal (my.akdphi.org), a centralized hub built on the FSID platform by re:Members that consolidates chapter management, event registration, and single sign-on. Supporting programs include the Pacesetter Program for Emerging Leaders, the SEN10R LEGACΨ senior transition program, the Sorority Internship Program, the National Alumnae Association's KDPhi-Cast podcast (Spotify distributed), the SV Toolkit for sexual-violence resources, and the new "Sincerely, aKDPhi" digital magazine launched January 2026. Annual touchpoints include the Summer Convention, Back-to-School Retreat, and Midyear Conference.

Revenue is generated through three primary streams: (1) per-member convention registration fees ($529 regular / $639 late for the 2026 Convention), (2) trademark licensing royalties via Affinity Consultants and GreekLicensing.com plus direct merchandise sales at shopakdphi.com, and (3) tax-deductible donations routed through the separate 501(c)(3) aKDPhi Foundation for scholarships and philanthropy. The organization has raised over $1M for Breast Cancer Awareness since 1999 and contributes 30,000+ volunteer service hours annually. The sorority is a charter member of the National APIDA Panhellenic Association (NAPA, 2006) and holds federal trademark registrations on its name and crest (refreshed September 2020 with EF.IT Design).
