National HistorySeven extraordinary women came together to establish Kappa Phi Lambda Sorority, Inc. at Binghamton University on March 9, 1995. These seven founders, Elizabeth Choi, Karen Eng, Rei Hirasawa, Hee Cho Moon, Chae Yoo Park, Samantha Somchanhmavong, and Connie Yang united with a single vision of providing women with the chance to use their pride in their heritage to become leaders of society.
Held together by the bond of sisterhood, and striving to educate each other and the rest of their community, our founding mothers not only channeled Asian American awareness through voice, but also through action. They taught each other about strength and ambition while discovering their own identities in the process. These first sisters of Kappa Phi Lambda also extended their hands to the community through charitable works of both service-oriented and philanthropic natures. By doing so, they were able to impact the world around them. All the while, they were given the opportunity to educate others about the beauty and complexity of Pan-Asian culture. Kappa Phi Lambda formed to provide the campus and, on a large scale, society, with yet another avenue for learning, and another outlet for activity.
