Chapter History
A group of women saw the need for a support system for Asian-American women at the University of Missouri. Their desire was to giving Asian-American women a stronger voice and teach the community to become more open-minded to different cultures. On May 28, 1999, the Charter Class composed of: Yung-Yi Hsieh, Jennifer Kuo, Elizabeth Morris, Kathy Pham and Sarah Wilcox brought Alpha Phi Gamma to the University of Missouri as a colony.
National History
Alpha Phi Gamma was founded on February 1, 1994 as the first Asian American interest sorority at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona. Our Founders are: Allex Choi, Candy Cunanan, Christine Nguyen, Sandie Rillera, Kolleen Kim, Grace Hsieh, and Jennifer Oku. These Sisters wanted to bring together all women of different nationalities through the bonds of friendship and sisterhood. The sorority was established to promote service and Asian Awareness to the University and to the community, while allowing for discovery of other cultures. For its members, Alpha Phi Gamma promotes leadership and academic excellence.
Philanthropy
Alpha Phi Gamma's official national philanthropy is the Fight Against Violence Towards Women. Our Sisters across the nation have committed their efforts in volunteering with local shelters and organizations, and raising funds for this cause. In November 2009, Alpha Phi Gamma strengthened their commitment by becoming a member of the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV), is a non-profit grassroots membership organization working to:
1. Eliminate domestic violence
2. Empower victims of domestic violence
3. Unite our voices
4. Alert and educate the public
5. Build partnerships.
