Social
Your college years will be filled with hours in class, the library and studying at your desk. You will also find time to meet new people and explore the social scene on your campus. Alpha Phi is a great way to meet new friends and make campus connections.

These connections may be found by attending social events, Homecoming or Greek Week events, formal dances or just hanging out. Not only will you have fun with your Alpha Phi sisters, but you will also work to keep each other safe. Alpha Phis keep an eye on each other through our Watchcare program. As a member, you will practice this time-honored tradition that began with our Founders.

Friendship
The best part of joining a sorority is the friendship and fun that ensues from those relationships. By joining a sorority, you will always have someone to head to the library with you, someone to chat with as you walk to class in the morning, someone to talk with about a boy, someone to loan you a sweatshirt or someone to be your shopping partner. These friendships will transform from collegiate situations to those of determining which profession to pursue, what job to take, which car to buy and who will be at your side as you walk down the aisle.

The friendships made in college will last throughout your lifetime. Your sisters will see you in good times and in bad, and they will be there tso pick you up and cheer you on. You will have the traditions and rituals of Alpha Phi in your minds and the treasure of true friendship in your heart.
