Dear Parents ,
Welcome to the Alpha Phi
family! Just as your daughter has found a family
away from home at college, that family has found
you. We are pleased to welcome your daughter into
our sisterhood and can promise that the next few
years of her life will be full of growth, curiosity
and fun.
Alpha Phi began at Syracuse
University in 1872 by 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
143 institutions across North America 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.
Again, welcome to our family!
We are thrilled that your daughter has selected
Alpha Phi as her sorority. We invite you to explore
our Web site to learn more about Alpha Phi and the
history your daughter is now a part of along with
nearly 160,000 other women.
