Scholarship
We constantly learn from one another, encourage each other to excel and are always lending a hand to each other so that we may all succeed in our studies. Alpha Phi has a strong academic program that includes awards and incentives for good grades as well as support from sisters. An Alpha Phi can be found in nearly every study, ranging from political science to nursing. Part of what defines the character of each and every one of our sisters is her drive to succeed and fulfill her academic and career goals.

Leadership
Our sisters lead by example and strive for continuous, innovative self-improvement, as well as that of the community. Since her inception, Alpha Phi has been a leader in the Greek community. The founding sisters of Alpha Phi encouraged one another to think, invent and improve.

Sisterhood
Alpha Phi sisters cherish life-long friendships rooted in kindness, love and respect for one another. We believe in the concept of Watchcare - a tenet of our sisterhood which encourages support of one another through the good times and the bad. This may mean helping one another out with academics or providing much needed support during a difficult time.

Service
Alpha Phi sisters support those in need through service and philanthropy; we all share a passion for helping one another and our surrounding communities. The Alpha Phi Foundation is one of the oldest Greek foundations and works to raise awareness and funds specifically for women's heart health.
