Welcome to uncakdphi.org! - OUR MISSIONS
MISSION ++
Our mission
is to provide sisterhood among women, scholarship, leadership and Asian
awareness in the University and community. Further, to provide a support
group for those in their times of need and to encourage the making of successful
women. To accomplish our mission, we will:
+ Maintain the highest levels of quality and integrity
+ Create a climate that encourages teamwork, creativity, and innovation
+ Give our unmoving and absolute support and encouragement to those we hold dear to our hearts - our sisters
We will measure our success in how well we are regarded by our peers, represented
by our competitors, and supported by our sisters.
The purpose
of this Asian-American interest sorority is to promote sisterhood, scholarship,
leadership, and Asian American awareness in the university and in the community,
while encouraging the expression of the individual. The sorority is composed
of highly motivated women with diverse backgrounds, interests, and fields
of study. Each woman, however, shares a strong bond of love, friendship,
and sisterhood. With a supportive network of sisters, each woman can strive
to fulfill her personal, academic, and career goals.

leadership opportunities and experiences enhances the sorority and teaches
our sisters many important life-long skills. We encourage our sisters to
