We
seek the highest ideal of womanhood, and we try to gain this ideal
by cultivating not only the power and passion for seeking intellectual
development but, also, the spirit of love and charity. And we who
are thus united are under a solemn pledge to lend a helping hand
to one another.
- Constitution
of Alpha Phi International Fraternity
Forever a friend, forever a sister,
forever an Alpha Phi.
Alpha Phi was founded at Syracuse University
in 1872 by ten strong independent women. The Theta Tau chapter of
Alpha Phi is one of over 150 chapters in both the United States and
Canada. Alpha Phi’s have a strong sense of belonging, in fact
many choose to join alumnae chapters, become advisors, or work for
the fraternity after their undergraduate days are over.
Alpha Phi is one of only 3 international
sororities here at Rensselaer. The Theta Tau chapter is a group of
independent women bonded together and committed to friendship, scholarship,
and womanhood.
