ALPHA PHI (Aɸ)

About

The Iota Zeta chapter of Alpha Phi strives on our four pillars: sisterhood, generosity, innovation, and character. With these qualities being our main focus as we strive to grow our organization and community, our sorority has contributed to many successes. Throughout the year, we participate in sisterhood and philanthropic events that help raise awareness to women’s heart health. We are very passionate about giving back to the Alpha Phi Foundation as well as our campus and community. We are proud members of Alpha Phi and proud to be an Oredigger as we look to continue to be involved throughout campus and strengthen our sisterhood.

deia position statement

The Iota Zeta Chapter of Alpha Phi values sisterhood that lasts a lifetime, the value of scholarship, service performed hand and hand and heart to heart, the pioneering of leadership, the bond of loyalty, and high expectations for character development. Members of Alpha Phi are neither selected nor rejected based upon age, religion, individual political affiliation, race, national origin, sexual orientation, or disability. Membership in Alpha Phi is open to any individual who identifies as a woman by the Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. The Iota Zeta Chapter of Alpha Phi strives to form this unique sisterhood, which is rooted in our pillars but strengthened in the relationships built, through the opportunity of each potential new member going through formal recruitment.
