𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐚𝐊𝐃𝐏𝐡𝐢? “Before entering college, I heard of aKDPhi because my sister is a part of the UMBC chapter, but back then I never thought I would have joined Greek life. After going out to multiple rush events I kept getting drawn to the welcoming, friendly community that they had. I tend to be introverted and shy when you first meet me and usually it takes a while for me to open up, but it was different when I met the sisters of aKDPhi. From the start, they helped me feel accepted and I was at ease to be myself.”
