Alpha Phi
Alpha Phi was founded at Syracuse University by ten of the first nineteen women admitted to the newly opened university. The Original Ten, the founders of Alpha Phi, were women of courageous vision and pioneering hearts. Pursuing their studies in a largely male-dominated university, these women searched for a circle of friends who could support each other’s ambitions. On September 18, 1872, the Founders initiated themselves into Alpha Phi. Alpha Phi’s 168th chapter was established at Yale in the fall of 2015 – our founding members had the opportunity to start a new tradition at Yale, just as our organization’s founders did at Syracuse in 1872.
Alpha Phi’s principles of sisterhood, service and scholarship will be woven throughout your experience as new members. From the first New Member Retreat (usually held in NYC), to crushes and formals, to our annual Crown of Hearts talent competition, to résumé workshops and networking events, Alpha Phi sisters have endless opportunities to grow together and support one another.
Alpha Phi members are leaders both within our chapter and on Yale’s campus. Although participating in over 300 student organizations, our members still find time to come together in support of our philanthropy – the Alpha Phi Foundation for Women’s Heart Health. In the fall of each year, we host a Red Dress Gala to raise funds and awareness for this foundation.
Our chapter house is located at 33 Edgewood Avenue in New Haven. The house has nine rooms for live-in members, a beautiful backyard, and two spacious living rooms for chapter events. In Yale Alpha Phi, you will find not only a sisterhood, but also a home away from home.
We look forward to sharing Alpha Phi with all of you during rush this year!
