New York, NY—NAPA partners with Dare to Change Consulting to share insights from a recent voter engagement survey and provide an action plan for improving voter engagement among Asian Pacific Islander Desi American (APIDA) membership. Greek life emerges as a rising force in AAPI political mobilization In partnership with Dare to Change Consulting, NAPA leadership launched the NAPA Voter Engagement Survey to assess the political attitudes and policy priorities of NAPA-affiliated individuals during the 2024 US Presidential Election cycle. Conducted across 18 member organizations, the survey collected insights from 245 respondents between September 2024 and November 2024. The priorities of NAPA-affiliated voters reflect a deeply nuanced, issue-driven political consciousness, balancing economic stability, social justice, public safety, healthcare access, and policies that impact the long-term well-being of AAPI communities. These voters are highly engaged with issues that shape their daily lives, including financial security, racial equity, immigration rights, and education access, demonstrating a broad and intersectional approach to civic engagement. “The insights in this report are designed to equip advocacy organizations, policymakers, community leaders, and Greek life networks with the tools they need to activate this crucial voter base,” says NAPA Director of Research Zaria St. Lawrence. “By harnessing the collective power of NAPA-affiliated individuals, we have the potential to build an engaged, informed, and mobilized electorate that will shape the future of AAPI political influence for generations to come.” A modern approach to civic engagement for a new generation of voters NAPA’s new civic engagement toolkit—a voter engagement survey, policy blueprint, and action plan—equips fraternity/sorority leaders with actionable strategies to institutionalize civic power within their chapters. The toolkit grounds advocacy in data, shapes narrative through lived experience, proposes actionable solutions, and embeds those solutions into institutional systems, ensuring that Asian Greek life moves from the margins of democracy to the center of its transformation. NAPA Voter Engagement Survey Results: reveals both progress and persistent barriers in AAPI civic participation; while voter registration rates are high, systemic obstacles—including language inaccessibility, voter suppression, and lack of political representation—continue to suppress turnout and limit long-term civic engagement. AAGLO Action Plan: provides a structured, long-term framework to integrate civic engagement, policy education, and leadership development into every AAGLO chapter, ensuring that voter participation and advocacy become core pillars of Greek life. Policy Blueprint: outlines strategies to enhance the political power of Asian American and Pacific Islander communities as an electorate. The toolkit resource aims to educate the broader community on examining the civic engagement gap in APIDA communities and the role of Greek-letter organizations in closing it; exploring scalable models for integrating voter registration, policy advocacy, and leadership pipelines into Greek life (e.g., Civic Engagement Chairs, voter drives, lobbying days); and showcasing success stories of AAGLOs mobilizing their networks for voter turnout, language access initiatives, and AAPI political representation. Why AAPI voter turnout could be decided on college campuses APIDA voters represent one of the fastest-growing electorate bases, yet they face systemic barriers like language access, voter suppression, and political underrepresentation. AAGLOs are uniquely positioned to transform civic engagement within their communities. NAPA’s research reveals how Asian fraternities and sororities may hold the key to unlocking unprecedented AAPI political power across colleges and universities. AAGLOs can boost AAPI voter turnout by institutionalizing civic engagement through chapter leadership roles, mandatory voter registration during new member intake, and campus-specific voter drives. Their tight-knit networks enable peer-to-peer mobilization to overcome language barriers and voter suppression tactics targeting students. By embedding political advocacy into Greek life traditions, AAGLOs transform social organizations into powerful turnout machines for the fastest-growing U.S. electorate. “The contributions of AAPI leaders remain overlooked in mainstream narratives—a reality that mirrors the broader challenges of political invisibility and systemic exclusion,” says Dare to Change Consulting Founder Clifford Robin Temprosa Li. “Today, NAPA-affiliated fraternities and sororities have a unique opportunity to reclaim this history, harnessing their collective power to drive civic engagement, social change, and policy advocacy.” Leaders and advisors of NAPA member organizations are encouraged to download toolkit assets and share them broadly with the chapters, students, and alumni they serve. NAPA Speakers Bureau subject matter experts and Dare to Change Consulting staff are also available to provide presentations upon request to explain toolkit assets in greater detail. ### About NAPA NAPA organizations set the gold standard for Asian Pacific Islander Desi American (APIDA) fraternities and sororities.

AAARI CUNY Symposium Highlights Legacy and Influence of Asian American Greek-Letter Organizations New York, NY – The Asian American / Asian Research Institute (AAARI) at the City University of New York held its anticipated symposium on May 17th, 2024. This year’s theme focuses on “Interrogating AAPI identities: intersectional scholarship, organizing, and transformative solidarities.” NAPA presented the evolving role and historical significance of Asian American Greek-Letter Organizations (AAGLOs). This event, featuring work from experts such as Dr. Bryan Dosono, Dr. Bilal Badruddin, Clifford Temprosa, and Elizabeth Kwong, provided a platform to explore the intertwined narratives of belonging, cultural identity, and community engagement among members of the Asian Pacific Islander Desi American (APIDA) community. Tracing back to the early 20th century, AAGLOs were established as a response to the systemic exclusion and racial discrimination faced by Asian students on predominantly white campuses (PWIs). Panelists discussed how AAGLOs have transformed over decades into influential bodies that advocate for APIDA communities. The creation of the National Asian Pacific Islander Desi American Panhellenic Association (NAPA) in the 21st century signals this evolution, amplifying collective voices for civic engagement and community-building initiatives such as voter registration with APIAVote. Dr. Badruddin shared his dissertation research on the connectedness among South Asian members at Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs). His research highlights the correlation between ethnic affinity and a sense of belonging among these students, addressing gaps in research related to their cultural and social integration. The findings underscore the importance of AAGLOs as identity-affirming spaces that support both personal and academic growth for Desi/South Asian members. Dr. Dosono’s dissertation research into digital identity work among Asian Americans on platforms like Reddit further illustrated the challenges and strategies for preserving collective narratives. This includes confronting disruptions that threaten identity discourse and developing alternative archives to safeguard cultural stories from systemic erasure. The symposium concluded with a call for increased collaboration between student bodies and AAGLOs. Recommendations included joint programming that meets chapter accreditation requirements, shared funding efforts, and cooperative outreach for philanthropic projects. Panelists stressed that partnerships fostered through these organizations build enduring community ties, amplifying advocacy and support for the broader APIDA population. The AAARI at CUNY serves as a vital space for scholarship on Asian American topics, while NAPA represents a coalition advocating for APIDA communities nationwide. Their combined efforts at events like today’s symposium underscore the rich heritage and transformative power of culturally-based Greek organizations. ### About NAPA NAPA organizations set the gold standard for Asian Pacific Islander Desi American (APIDA) fraternities and sororities.
