About USC Alpha Delta Kappa
Alpha Delta Kappa represents a vibrant sisterhood rooted in tradition, diversity, and purpose at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, CA. Established in 1977, this open Asian Greek Council sorority has grown into a community of accomplished women committed to promoting service, friendship, and personal growth. The organization's founding oath—"To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream"—continues to guide members in strengthening themselves and supporting one another through meaningful engagement.
What sets Alpha Delta Kappa apart is its commitment to being an inclusive, open sorority that welcomes members from universities and colleges throughout Southern California. Rather than limiting membership to a single institution, the organization brings together diverse voices and experiences, creating a richer, more complete collegiate experience. This approach has allowed Alpha Delta Kappa to build connections across the Los Angeles area while maintaining deep roots at its charter school, the University of Southern California.
The sorority's identity is reflected in its rich symbolism: four roses honoring the founding members, a crane representing Asian culture and inner beauty, a scroll symbolizing scholastic achievement, joined hands representing sisterhood and unity, and the Trojan head reflecting pride in the USC community. These symbols embody the values of heritage, academic excellence, and collective strength that define the organization.
As a service and social-oriented organization, Alpha Delta Kappa actively contributes to both the Asian-American and university communities in Los Angeles, CA. Members benefit from a multi-generational array of sisters representing different universities, professions, and backgrounds. This diverse sisterhood creates lasting connections and provides members with access to a broad network of support, mentorship, and friendship that extends far beyond their college years.
