How to get started
Each individual must register
online to get started. You will need to have your membership ID number
the first time you visit the Online Community. Without this number,
you will be unable to complete the registration process. This can be
found in one of two places:
1.
On your membership card you received after you paid your
International Alumnae Dues, or
2.
On the back page of your Quarterly magazine. Your
membership number is above your name on the label.
If you are unable to locate your
membership number in either of these locations, you may contact
alumnae@alphaphi.org
and someone will respond to your request within 10-14 business days.

I have my membership ID number, now how do I
register?
·
To begin, first go to the Online Community and click on the
text link, “CLICK TO JOIN NOW”.
·
After reviewing the welcome page, you will be asked to
search for your name in the Online Directory database of eligible
members. Type in your last name, first name and zip code. If you are
unable to find yourself, try using just your last name and try your
maiden name also.
·
Once you find your name and confirm that “It’s me,”
you will be prompted to proceed by entering in your membership ID
number. Without your membership ID number, you will be unable to
complete the registration process.

When do I select a User ID?
|
|
Once you verify yourself with
your membership ID number, you will be asked to complete the
registration process by choosing a unique User ID and password.
You will then use this new User ID and password anytime you want
to access the community. You will no longer need your membership
ID number. Your User ID must be between 6 and 20 characters long
of alphanumeric characters and underscores.

Who is in the Online Directory?
|
|
All Alpha Phi alumnae are
listed in the Online Directory, unless they specifically
requested to be excluded from mailings from the EO. If you find
you are not listed, please let us know so the oversight can be
corrected.

How do I add/hide my contact information to/from
the Online Directory?
|
|
Alumnae have total control over what
information appears in the Online Directory. All you need to do
is hide the information that you do not want to display. For
example, if you want only your work address to be listed, hide
your home address from your listing. Select the “VIEW/UPDATE
YOUR ONLINE DIRECTORY LISTING” from the “Online Directory
area of the community. Select the “HIDE/UNHIDE INFORMATION
FROM VIEW IN YOUR DIRECTORY LISTING”. Once there, you can
choose what pieces of information you want to hide from view.
If you are listed in the Online Directory and do not want to be,
simply go to the "Online Directory" area of the
community and choose the "VIEW/UPDATE YOUR ONLINE DIRECTORY
LISTING". Select the “HIDE/UNHIDE INFORMATION FROM VIEW
IN YOUR DIRECTORY LISTING”. Read the “ONLINE DIRECTORY
CONSENT” information and mark the “HIDE” box to have your
listing hidden from view.
Your listing will not be available for viewing and your name
will not appear in any online directory search results.
We strongly encourage you to display
your e-mail address so friends and sisters can find you and
re-connect!

Are contact information changes sent to the
Executive Office reflected in the Online Directory?
|
Yes.
Approximately every 4-6 weeks information that is in Alpha Phi’s
Executive Office database is uploaded into the Online Community –
they are an almost mirror image of one another.

Are contact information changes entered into the Online Directory
also sent to the Executive Office?
Please be
assured that any updates and/or changes that you make to your
personal record on the Online Directory are automatically sent to
the Executive Office so our main database can be updated. This
process can take up to one week to complete.

There is a lot of information that I could add
to my record, and it seems sort of personal. Why should I enter all of
this stuff?
The Executive Office
of the Fraternity and Foundation is hopeful that alumnae will choose
to update their information using the Online Directory. It may seem
like we are asking lots of things, but the more information we have
about you, the better we can serve our members. If we know that many
of our members have children about the same age, we can create
programs and services to meet the needs of those members. The
questions may seem a bit personal, but we hope you will complete your
listing for the benefit of future services. Remember, you can always
choose to hide information that you do not wish others to view.

Should I complete the business portion of
my listing?
YES, YES, YES.
Completing the business portion of your listing allows other Alpha
Phi’s to find sisters in certain occupational areas. So many younger
sisters are looking for information and guidance about careers and by
completing this information, you can help other Alpha Phis.
