Chapter Mission Statement:
Alpha Phi is a membership organization dedicated to promoting sisterhood, cultivating leadership, encouraging intellectual curiosity and advocating service.

Alpha Phi provides unlimited leadership opportunities, academic support, campus involvement, and most importantly, long-lasting friendships.
As a lifelong commitment, Alpha Phi provides an unparalleled collegiate experience and highlights individual growth through friendship and sisterhood.

Our chapter holds two principal philanthropic events per year: HeartBeat Week and The Red Dress Gala. Both of these events fundraise to support women's cardiac health and the Alpha Phi Foundation.

Alpha Phi Foundation :
In 1956, Alpha Phi became one of the first women’s fraternities to establish a Foundation. It was created as a trust agreement to award scholarships and promote cardiac aid. Today, the original priorities hold true in our five vital programs:

- Supporting innovative leadership training and programming led by Alpha Phi Fraternity
- Awarding scholarships to undergraduate and graduate Alpha Phis
- Investing in the advancement of women’s heart health
- Helping members in need through the Forget Me Not Grant Fund
- Celebrating the forward-thinking women that shaped Alpha Phi by preserving our rich heritage


Alpha Phi also supports the Kali Reinhardt foundation. This foundation

The Kali Reinhardt Leadership Fund was created within the Alpha Phi Foundation to support the leadership development of the women of the Alpha Phi Epsilon Chapter. It honors Kali Reinhardt, a member of the Epsilon chapter from 2014-2018, who passed away in 2020. Kali held numerous leadership positions within the chapter, including Chapter President or “Prez Mama” as she was lovingly referred to. She was an outspoken advocate for female empowerment and pushed all the women in the chapter to be bold, support one another & take action on the things that matter.

In her honor, this fund provides retreats, educational seminars, Alpha Phi international events, and sisterhoods to invest in bold, brave female leaders like Kali. 

Her legacy will go on in perpetuity.

Students can get involved by going through Formal Recruitment or Informal Recruitment.
