In 1894, Alpha Phi was the first women's fraternity to use traveling delegates, now known as Educational Leadership Consultants (ELCs).  Continuing a tradition of leadership, the ELC program develops strong women who think innovatively and take initiative, who meet goals and exceed other's expectations, and who command respect and engage others. ELCs work hands on with Alpha Phi chapters to develop recruitment plans, devise marketing strategies, provide motivation and support, analyze situations and make vital decisions.
