EMPRESS
INTEREST GROUP
ABOUT US
WHO WE ARE
EMPRESS is an Asian-interest, but not Asian-exclusive, interest group dedicated to fostering five core values:
Empowering, Motivating, Persevering, Respecting, and Exemplifying Strength through Sisterhood.
EMPRESS Interest Group was founded on April 17, 2014 by two women at the University of Florida who believed in the need for the implementation of a values-based system and emphasis on creating strong female leaders of the Asian-interest sorority upon which it is based.
Today, EMPRESS is 29 active members strong and continues to highlight the importance of being a strong female leader without sacrificing one's individuality.
EMPRESS' philanthropy is mental health awareness.
​
We work alongside the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) to promote mental health awareness on-campus at the University of Florida and in the greater Gainesville community. Through volunteering, fundraising, forums, donations, and promotion of mental health acceptance on our campus, we stand for the belief that mental health is extremely important and close to our hearts. We look forward to spreading more knowledge about mental health, the importance of taking initiative in the care of your own mental health, and striving to help those who suffer from mental health complications.
