The Xi Kappa Fraternity is an Asian-interest fraternity that live by the values of honor, loyalty, and respect to ensure the following objectives:
1. Brotherhood -
2. Education -
The "Xi Kappa" tradition was created out of a desire for a difference within the Southern philosophy of "Dixie". It began as a dream envisioned by Xi Kappa Founder, Jason Dunn, to pave a way to overcome the segregation within the Asian population as well as the American Culture. As this journey began, he joined forces with 8 other Asian students at the University of Georgia in 1997, to start a Greek-based organization to break the mold for the average Asian student in the Southeast. Together, the "Xi Kappa Asian-Interest Fraternity", was formed. These nine men, Jason Dunn, Christian Deguzman, Howard Hsu, Brian Le , Eliot Kim, Sam Kim, Phong Nguyen, Trung Pham, and Ben Wong set out to make a difference with a bond greater than just brotherhood.
So, in the beginning of 1998, these nine men set out to create this Asian-interest fraternity with an objective to promote the very Asian heritage that brought them together. Despite the differences of personalities and backgrounds, they bonded together to work for that common objective. These nine men challenged themselves to come together and form a brotherhood for students with the same Asian heritage and interest to bond and share their common cultural backgrounds.
