Top 5 Reasons Why You Should Go Alpha Phi

Academics

You are a potential member because your scholastic record brought you to the University of Iowa, an institution with an Alpha Phi chapter. We want to support your vision to excel and to be a leader in and out of the classroom. College is about learning theories and assumptions, but also a time to learn about you. We hope to foster your creativity and drive in all aspects of your collegiate experience.

Commitment

Alpha Phi is committed to your membership experience. Our Founders' vision was to create a women's organization based on sisterhood, scholarship and service. We hold each of these tenants true today in all that we do and commit to you.

Sisterhood

The bonds of friendship tie each of our members together during college and post-graduate years. It is the friendships formed that lead to smiles, laughter, tears and ultimately memories you will cherish for a lifetime. In Alpha Phi, it is the individual that makes the difference in the experience — and a collection of brilliant individuals leads to the experience of a lifetime.

Tradition

Alpha Phi was founded in 1872 by 10 of the first women to enter Syracuse University in Syracuse, N.Y. When they were denied entrance to men's fraternities, they created their own and began a path of sisterhood and friendship that holds 133 years of cherished moments and traditions. Each chapter upholds traditions begun by these 10 remarkable women, while at the same time they value customs created by the founders of their own chapters. While each member lives in the present, it is our past traditions that bind us all together.

Watchcare

Watchcare began with our Founders, who bonded together to support each other for mutual growth. Watchcare has three components: the preservation of human dignity, risk management and the development of solid values and ethics to help our members make appropriate decisions. Watchcare offers the foundation for our members that hand in hand we will stay safe and grow to meet our highest potential.
