How do I write a reference for a legacy or reference?

Any alumnae of Alpha Phi may recommend a potential new member for an Alpha Phi chapter.  Please fill out this form to the best of your knowledge of the potential new member: Recommendation Form.  This form introduces the potential new member to the chapter and provides the chapter helpful information about woman during the recruitment process.

Where do I send the form?

All of the chapter addresses are in our “eyes only” portion of the website to protect our chapters. 

To view chapter addresses, visit Alpha Phi members only section. If you do not know the log-in information, please email password@alphaphi.org.  Once you are in the “eyes only” section, you can find the chapter addresses on the opening page that says: Locate chapter addresses for sending Potential Member Introduction Forms under the “General Membership” heading.

How does the Alpha Phi chapter know about my legacy? 
It is the member's responsibility to notify the chapter of an incoming potential new member being recommended or having legacy status.  While many potential new members may report themselves to the Greek system as being legacies, it is ultimately up to the member to alert the chapter - not the potential new member or Panhellenic.   

Please fill out the form in enough amount of time to send to the chapter before recruitment begins.  There is a list of recruitment dates in the Summer Quarterly edition which can also be accessed online behind the "Eyes Only" portion of the website.
