Kappa Zeta Phi
Encyclopedia
Kappa Zeta Phi (also known as Kappas) is an Asian-American interest sorority based in Southern California. It was founded at California State University, Los Angeles
in December 1960 and now has expanded to two other Universities within Southern California since then. The sorority is centered around academics, service, and most importantly sisterhood.
Eight women students at California State University at Los Angeles established Kappa Zeta Phi in December 1960. It was in May 1962 that the sorority received its charter and was thus recognized on campus as a service and social sorority by the Inter-Organizational Council.
Beta Chapter
The Beta Chapter of Kappa Zeta Phi Sorority at the University of California, Irvine, was colonized by five Founding Members on November 1, 1989. Ten Charter Members joined these five Founding Members and through their friendship, leadership, and vision, the formation of a new Asian-American Sorority was established at the UC Irvine campus. By working closely with the CSULA Kappa Zeta Phi, Alpha Chapter, the Beta Chapter Charter was bestowed upon the UC Irvine Charter Class on January 13, 1990. It is now a member of the Asian Greek Council (AGC) of Southern California.
Gamma Chapter
Kappa Zeta Phi, Gamma Chapter, was founded by eleven dedicated women on April 25, 1994.
It now exists as an Asian-American interest sorority that promotes tradition, respect, and most importantly, sisterhood. In addition to working to build a social network among fellow Greek organizations, Kappa Zeta Phi also prioritizes community service above many other activities. Our sorority strives to build a strong relationship among women who are dedicated to enhancing themselves, regardless of ethnicity, in areas of academics, social life, community service, and personal achievement.
Three very close-knit chapters of Kappas currently exist in Southern California. Alpha chapter resides in Los Angeles, Beta chapter in Irvine, and Gamma chapter in San Diego.
The Beta Chapter of Kappa Zeta Phi is part of the Asian Pacific Student Association, or APSA, and the Multicultural Greek Council, or MGC, on campus. They participate in annual philanthropies such as the A3M Bone Marrow Drive and the L.A. Chinese New Years Festival.
