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.
In order for Alpha Phi Gamma to promote service and Asian Awareness we participate in philanthropy activities to help better the ladies who join, and to create a bond with the community. Some philanthropy activities that the ladies of Alpha Phi Gamma have participated in are 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.
