| Alpha
Phi Gamma emerged in the Fall of 1993 and became a reality
on February 1, 1994, as the first Asian American Interest
Sorority on the campus of California State Polytechnic University,
Pomona. The Founders were 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, allowing
for all the different nationalities to discover what other
cultures had to offer.
Alpha Phi Gamma also focused on other aspects such as philanthropy activities and socials. Some philanthropy activities the ladies of Alpha Phi Gamma associate with are, L.A. AIDS Walk, Orange County AIDS Walk, Race for the Cure, March of Dimes, House of Hope, and many more. The
National Philanthropy for the sorority is the Fight
Against Violence Toward Women. This is a cause
that is not as strongly supported as other causes, but is
a major concern for women. Our efforts are to volunteer with
shelters and organizations, and to help raise funds for the
cause.
