History
[edit]The Beginning
[edit]The “Xi Kappa” tradition was created out of a desire for a difference within the Southern philosophy of “Dixie.” Xi Kappa Founder, Jason Dunn joined forces with 8 other Asian students at the University of Georgia in 1997, to start a Greek-based organization for Asian students in the Southeast. Together, the “Xi Kappa Asian-Interest Fraternity”, was formed.[1]
