Alpha Phi Gamma National Sorority, Inc. (ΑΦΓ, also known as APhiG and Alpha Phi Gamma) is an Asian-interest sorority founded on February 1, 1994, at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona (Cal Poly Pomona).[2][3]

History and purpose

Alpha Phi Gamma was founded on February 1, 1994, and is the first Asian-American interest sorority established at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona. The sorority strives to promote sisterhood, service, academic excellence, personal development, and Asian awareness. Although Alpha Phi Gamma is an Asian-interest sorority, its sisters believe strongly in the importance of diversity and accept women of all nationalities.

Alpha Phi Gamma is a member of the National APIDA Panhellenic Association (NAPA).[4]

Philanthropy

Alpha Phi Gamma's official National Philanthropy is the "Fight Against Violence Towards Women".

In November 2009, Alpha Phi Gamma became a member of the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence.

Alpha Phi Gamma names its campus groups "charters". The sorority currently has fifteen active charters, a provisional active charter, and has closed two associate charters, never installed, now inactive.[5][3]
