Our Story

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.

​

​As with the beginning of any organization, Alpha Phi Gamma has started to grow in

order to be able to have a strong impact in the future. Since 1993, our Sisterhood bonds have grown internally and formed foundations in California, Illinois, Missouri, Arizona, New York, Kansas, Colorado, Michigan, Nevada and Minnesota. Seeing our Sisterhood grow over the years is exciting, but more importantly is that Alpha Phi Gamma has been able to maintain our values and bonds across all our schools. As we continue to grow our Sisters will continue to uphold these values and bonds within our Sisterhood in our communities and universities.

Alpha Phi Gamma is the only Asian-American Interest sorority recognized by and officially chartered at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona.
