Background Information

Headquartered in Evanston, Illinois, Alpha Phi continues to flourish throughout the United States and Canada. Each year, the Alpha Phi Foundation awards more than $150,000 in scholarships to both undergraduate and graduate Alpha Phis.

The Epsilon Alpha chapter makes a charitable impact by raising money through events like Mr. University and the Red Dress Gala. Proceeds are sent to the Alpha Phi Foundation, a philanthropic organization created by the Alpha Phi Fraternity. The foundation was created as a trust to award grants specifically for scholarship and cardiac aid.

Students who join Alpha Phi establish and maintain connections that last long after graduation. For example, as a result of networking with Alpha Phi alumnae, Alpha Phis may find themselves interning across the country in prestigious locations, such as public relations firms in L.A., fashion marketing companies in New York and Chicago, Fortune 500 companies in several states and more.

The Alpha Phi creed reads, “I believe in my fraternity. I believe in its high ideals which lift me up beyond myself.” The Alpha Phi mission statement reads, “Alpha Phi is a sisterhood of women supporting one another in lifelong achievement.” At Ashland University, the Epsilon Alpha chapter strives to embody these two truths every day.
