The sisters of the Eta Chapter of alpha Kappa Delta Phi are among the most active and visible student leaders within the sorority, the campus, and the community.

“As a sorority, we work with a variety of other organizations on campus to promote Asian-Awareness, academics, and philanthropy. alpha Kappa Delta Phi is one of the few Asian-interest Greek organizations that make up the Texas Asian Pan-Hellenic Council (TAPC) along with the sisters of Alpha Sigma Rho, Kappa Phi Gamma, Kappa Phi Lambda, Sigma Phi Omega and the brothers of Lambda Phi Epsilon, Omega Phi Gamma, and Gamma Beta.

Mission: alpha Kappa Delta Phi Sorority, Inc. fosters the making of successful leaders by assisting and challenging our members to reach their maximum potential. We strive to maintain the highest levels of integrity and innovation in the promotion of sisterhood, philanthropy, scholastic excellence, and Asian-Awareness in the community while creating lifelong relationships.​"
