BIG SISTER: #180 Arantxa “ZU.KO.” Labtis

Why aKDPhi?

I personally never thought of joining a sorority, but after attending some events that aKDPhi hosted I knew that is where I belong. Growing up I was never really connected to my Asian’s culture but with aKDPhi it has taught me to embrace it which I was incredibly grateful that they did. I am so happy that I found a place to call home and my forever sisters.

BIG SISTER: #194 Alysa “K.A.gome” Araneta

Why aKDPhi?

I initially joined out of curiosity and just for fun, but I found myself creating memories and bonds with people I would’ve never met if I hadn’t come across aKDPhi. I also wanted to create more connections not just at UIC but from other areas around the world.

BIG SISTER: #192 Victoria “LiLaC” Alba

Why aKDPhi?

I never thought I’d join a sorority, but after meeting these girls, they’ve completely changed my perspective. As someone on the quieter side, I wanted to step out of my comfort zone and grow as a person. From the very beginning, they were so welcoming, supportive, and kind. Being part of this sisterhood has inspired me to develop important skills, such as leadership and teamwork, while building lifelong connections. I’ve had the chance to meet so many amazing, hardworking women, including my bestie big sister, Victoria!

CROSSING YEAR: Fall 2024 Alpha Upsilon ÜltraV!✦ŁET

BIG SISTER: #186 Abigail “zinniA” F. Dizon

Why aKDPhi?

I didn’t have many female asian influences around me growing up in a small town with not much diversity. Moving to UIC was a huge jump for me and finding a strong community was one of the most important things I wanted during college. I took my freshman year to figure out my academics and decided to finally come out to recruitment events last fall. After seeing how the sisters interacted with each other and feeling the energy they provided, I knew that this was the place for me.

BIG SISTER: #219 Vita “Ka🗝️ri” Wu

Why aKDPhi?

As a student who lives on campus and home is far away, it was hard to make friends. I wanted to join an organization to meet new people and found aKDPhi! They have given me opportunities to open my social shell and have given me endless support, I’ve found my forever friends.^-^

Ever since then, I’ve been surrounded by strong, passionate, supportive, and kind leaders in this sisterhood that have helped me grow in many areas in my life and continue to help me grow! I’ve made so many friendships that will last a lifetime, including my biggie Brigitta and my twinny Linda <3

#238 Mj “star.ry” Hameyotin

YEAR: Junior

MAJOR: Data Science

CROSSING YEAR: Fall 2024 Alpha Upsilon ÜltraV!✦ŁET

BIG SISTER: #207 Elaine “golD.en_hoUr” Gracia

Why aKDPhi?

As an international student far from home, I wanted to find a safe and supportive community where I truly belong. Joining aKDPhi has pushed me out of my comfort zone and given me the opportunity to grow both personally and professionally. This sisterhood has not only brought me incredible line sisters, twin, and my big, but also friendships that mean so much to me.

#240 Kelly “KiyọmÎ” Nguyen

YEAR: Sophomore

MAJOR: Chemistry

CROSSING YEAR: Fall 2024 Alpha Upsilon ÜltraV!✦ŁET

BIG SISTER: #219 Vita “Ka🗝️ri” Wu

Why aKDPhi?

I joined aKDPhi originally to step out of my comfort zone and find people I could form true connections with. I never really saw myself in greek life but after meeting the sisters and being welcomed with open arms, I realized that I’ve found a community that supports and mentors me, as well as celebrates my culture and identity, because growing up I didn’t have many people who also shared the same experiences as me. I’ve also gained a true sisterhood, which I am truly grateful for since I never got to experience being the only girl and middle child of my family.

#242 Alexis “Cat•A•leyâ❤️‍🔥” Yang

YEAR: Sophomore

MAJOR: Biological Sciences

CROSSING YEAR: Fall 2024 Alpha Upsilon ÜltraV!✦ŁET

BIG SISTER: #217 Cassandra “que•r•enci🔥” Rios

Why aKDPhi?

As a first year and commuter student, I was really scared starting school in the city and also scared that I would be alone. I met some of the nicest girls that encouraged me to come out to recruitment. Growing up I felt isolated in my non diverse hometown, but I felt the opposite at aKDPhi. I’ve found sisters that share my experiences and that help me grow to become the best version of my self

#243 Manroop “KIL.LÜA.” Kaur

YEAR: Junior

MAJOR: Criminology, Law, and Justice

CROSSING YEAR: Fall 2024 Alpha Upsilon ÜltraV!✦ŁET

BIG SISTER: #218 Maggie “.U.SAGI” Zheng

Why aKDPhi?

Growing up in a small PWI town, I rarely saw people who shared my background. When I met the sisters of aKDPhi at the involvement fair, I saw how kind and supportive they were with each other, and I knew I wanted to be part of that sisterhood. Being surrounded by such strong, driven women has given me the community I always hoped for.

BIG SISTER: #221 𝖫𝗈𝗋𝖾𝗇 “𝖫𝗈-𝖥𝗂” 𝖧𝖾𝗇𝗂𝖼𝗁

Why aKDPhi?

I joined aKDPhi because I was searching for a community at UIC where I could truly feel comfort, love, and friendship, and saw that bond during recruitment. Joining has been one of the best decisions I’ve made, giving me lifelong memories with my sisters and countless opportunities.

#247 Natcha cé🩵lestė Chankaew

YEAR: Junior

MAJOR: Nursing

CROSSING YEAR: Spring 2025 Alpha Phi 𝓯à𝓷𝓽á𝓼𝔂

BIG SISTER: #215 Papatsa “𝖺𝗎💙𝗋é𝗅¡𝖾” Hameyotin

Why aKDPhi?

As a commuter, I find it very difficult to make friends in class and get involved in campus. I wanted to be part of an organization that would not only provide me with connections but also a lasting friendships as well as getting me out of my comfort zone. I honestly never see myself joining Greek but out of my curiosity and after meeting the sisters during recruitment week, seeing how welcoming and supporting they are to each other makes me wanted to become part of this community. aKDPhi did not only provided me with what I was looking for but also a meaningful sisterhood.
