-'''Kappa Phi Lambda''' (KPL) is the only Asian-interest multicultural sorority established at Columbia University on December 6th, 2003 and was founded at SUNY Binghamton in 1995. The only Asian-interest sorority currently on Columbia's campus, Kappa Phi Lambda is recognized by the [[Multicultural Greek Council]], and its sisters are referred to as "Kappas". Kappa Phi Lambda is currently a 5-star [[ALPHA Standards of Excellence]] chapter and was awarded the Achievement in Community Service, Achievement in Campus Involvement, and Achievement in Programming. This past Spring 2014, they hit triple digits in membership and there are now 101 Columbia sisters.

 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]], [[Stressbusters]], [[EcoReps]], [[Columbia Faith and Action]], and more.

 ==='''New Member Process'''===
-After rush, and if a bid is extended to a girl after an interview, they will undergo the "New Member Process," NOT called 'pledging,' which is the period after rush that is another step deeper into the journey to becoming a sister. The New Member Process challenges you and allows you to learn more about yourself, your line sisters, and the sisters and sorority of Kappa Phi Lambda. The same experience that each and every Kappa sister has been through holds some of the most cherished secrets within our sorority. KPL strictly abides by the rules and beliefs behind a positive intake process. There is never a moment that Kappa Phi Lambda would put you in a harmful situation. The New Member Process is definitely a challenge in its own way. Through it all, many Greeks find an improvement in self-confidence and approachability after the New Member process.

 ==Rush==
-Rush is a period of two weeks at the beginning of each semester when “Greeks” (sororities and fraternities) hold events for “non-Greeks” in an effort to recruit new members. During this rush period, Kappa Phi Lambda holds a series of events from general information meetings to cultural and community service events. These events are held in order to get to know the Kappa sisters and what they stand for. There are '''no obligations or commitments during rush'''. This is a period where sisters encouraged interested individualy to relax, have fun, and chill with the sisters of Kappa Phi Lambda.
