Celebrating 100 Years in Canada
Alpha Phi became an
international organization with the formation of the
Toronto (Xi) collegiate chapter in 1906. To
celebrate this momentous occasion, all collegiate
and alumnae chapters – especially those in Canada –
are invited to join a year-long celebration of 100
years of Alpha Phi in Canada.
The events kicked off with a tea at the Xi
chapter house on Dec. 4, 2005, (Xi’s 99th
birthday) with over 50 sisters in attendance.
The final event will be a
gala dinner/dance/auction at Casa Loma
in Toronto on November 10,
2006. Tickets will be available for
purchase beginning in the
summer.
In
honor of our Canadian sisters, we are very excited
to announce the creation of an Alpha Phi Foundation
scholarship for members of all Alpha Phi chapters in
Canada or Canadian Alpha Phis – the Canadian
Centennial Scholarship. The goal is to
award the first scholarship in 2006
We
ask that all sisters consider making a donation of
$100 in honor of Canada’s 100th
anniversary. Donations can be made
online
or by check to the Alpha Phi Foundation, 1930
Sherman Avenue, Evanston, IL, 60201. All donations
should note that they are for the Canadian
Centennial Scholarship
Those interested
in receiving up-to-date information on centennial
