Our Awards
Our Alumnae Association recognizes sisters throughout the year who have made outstanding contributions to the sorority.
Iris Award: This award is presented to one active sister per semester. The Iris Award recipient is nominated, voted on and selected by her own active house to recognize her outstanding commitment and dedication in representing aKDPhi through all of our pillars: sisterhood, scholarship, leadership, service and Asian awareness. Each award is funded from alumnae contributions in the amount of $50 to use toward the recipient’s aKDPhi account as support for her future endeavors within the sorority. The awards are presented at the winter and spring banquets.

The award is funded from alumnae contributions in the amount of $100 or more, and is presented at the spring banquet.
