Alpha Phi was established at Syracuse University in the year 1872 by ten founding members. Alpha Phi has grown immensely since then, now having over 280,000 members and 174 collegiate chapters. Alpha Phi follows four High Ideals of Membership, “Sisterhood that lasts a lifetime, striving for innovation, practicing generosity at every turn, and high expectations of character.” The mission statement for Alpha Phi reads, “Alpha Phi is a loyal sisterhood of women courageously pursuing limitless excellence.” Alpha Phi’s philanthropy is focused on supporting women’s heart health. In 1965, Alpha Phi established the Alpha Phi Foundation which aids in their philanthropy efforts, and they have successfully raised over $2 million in support of heart health for women.
