The '''Chinese Students Club''', commonly known as '''CSC''', is one of the largest cultural groups on campus. It is a student organization dedicated to promoting Chinese culture and identity to the Columbia and Barnard communities through events from social mixers to political forums. It is notorious for holding [[Lunar Gala]], a huge Chinese culture/fashion show, being one of the largest student productions on campus, as well as [[Night Market]], a large festival on [[Low Plaza]], and one of the biggest undergraduate events of the fall. Its other annual events include: Intercultural Benefit Dinner, Semi-formal, and Rice Bowl.

The organization also maintains five satellite groups: CSC Connect (a peer mentoring program), English Tutoring (a community program for Chinese immigrants), Radiance (Chinese dance), Chinese Yo-Yo, and the Chinese Conversation Group. The organization serves as the umbrella group for these related clubs. Lion Dance Troupe was initially a satellite group of CSC, but was recognized as an independent student group by the [[Activities Board at Columbia]] in spring 2009, existing now on its own.

The Chinese Students Club is run by a 25-member board as well as a general body. The board consists of the Executive Board (President, VP CC/SEAS, VP Barnard, Secretary, Treasurer), Executive Committee Members (ECMs), and Organizational Committee Members (OCMs). The board recruits students to be OCMs early in the fall.

'''Kappa Phi Lambda''' (KPL) is an Asian-interest multicultural sorority founded at SUNY Binghamton in 1995 and established at Columbia University on December 6th, 2003. The only Asian-interest sorority currently on Columbia's campus, Kappa Phi Lambda is recognized by the [[Multicultural Greek Council]], and its members are referred to as "Kappas".

The sisters of the Kappa Phi Lambda Sorority, Inc., strive to strengthen sisterhood amongst women by providing service and promoting cultural diversity to its members and its community, thus securing the bond of kinship for posterity. Kappa Phi Lambda exists to further educate individuals about Pan-Asian culture, while keeping its own identity. They aim for academic excellence, keeping in mind the importance of education and learning as the key to strength, awareness, and fulfillment.

A sisterhood comprised of unique and dedicated women, Kappa Phi Lambda continues to display a strong presence on campus, with representation in many Columbia organizations such as [[Chinese Students Club]], [[Taiwanese American Students Association]], [[Asian American Alliance]], [[Liga Filipina]], [[Columbia Daily Spectator]], [[The Julliard School]], and more.
