Welcome to the Alpha Phi family! Just as your Alpha Phi has found a family away from home at college, that family has found you. We are pleased to welcome you both and can promise that Alpha Phi will bring a lifetime of growth, curiosity and fun.

Alpha Phi, from its very beginning, has been about innovation and excellence. It began at Syracuse University in 1872 by some of the first women to enter that university. They found that the men enjoyed camaraderie and friendships as members of all-male fraternities, and they also wanted that feeling of belonging and support. To meet that need, they founded Alpha Phi and dreamt from the beginning to be an organization that called many campuses home to innovators like themselves. Today, Alpha Phi calls more than 147 institutions home.

Our members today continue to be innovators through their academics, involvement on campus and contributions to their communities. Alpha Phi is rooted in the ideals of sisterhood, scholarship and service. These three virtues bind us together to improve ourselves and those around us. The college years are ones of change and exploration. We are confident that Alpha Phis conclude their collegiate experience prepared both professionally and personally.

The Alpha Phi experience does not end at graduation; it is only just beginning. The opportunities for friendship, leadership and events continue as an alumna through involvement in local philanthropies, alumnae chapters and service as a volunteer. Alpha Phi is a network of support found across the world.

You are now a part of this life changing organization too. There are so many ways that you can benefit and be benefited by being involved with Alpha Phi. You can impact the lives of women both locally, by supporting your Alpha Phi and her chapter, or internationally, by taking part in Alpha Phi’s fight against heart disease!
