Our Sisterhood
Our sisterhood is about being surrounded by genuine, supportive women who celebrate you, challenge you, and stand by you no matter what. Whether we’re making memories at movie night, bonding during our chapter retreat, or dancing the night away at formal, every moment together brings us closer and reminds us why this sisterhood is so special.
Big/Little Events
Our Big/Little event is a cherished tradition designed to help new members feel right at home. Each new member is paired with a Big—an older member who serves as a mentor, a supporter, and, more often than not, an instant best friend. Whether it’s offering advice, answering questions, or simply being there during the transition into chapter life, your Big is someone you can always count on.
To foster these connections and encourage everyone to meet new people, we host a variety of “dates” between new and active members. These range from casual lunches at the house and coffee runs to 7Brew, to ice cream trips to Gail’s, charm bracelet making, and cozy game nights. With each event, our goal is for you to grow closer to your sisters and experience firsthand the warmth, support, and fun that define our sisterhood.

Chapter Retreat
Our chapter retreat is one of the most memorable events of the year! We spend a day together whether it's at camp, enjoying fun activities like water tubing, bag decorating, and friendly competitions between pledge classes. It’s a time to relax, bond, and make lasting memories with sisters- whether we're cheering each other on or laughing around the campfire. This retreat brings our chapter even closer and celebrates everything we love about being part of Alpha Phi.
​
Beyond the fun, it’s a chance to step away from the busy semester and really connect with one another. We leave the day feeling refreshed, recharged, and more united than ever.
New Member Presentation
Our New Member Presentation is a special celebration honoring our newest sisters! At the end of each freshman year, we come together with our new members and their families to reflect on their first year in Alpha Phi and officially welcome them into our sisterhood. It’s a heartfelt tradition that marks the beginning of a lifelong bond, and we hope to celebrate this meaningful milestone with you one day.
