About 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 yearned for a circle of friends who could sympathize with each other's troubles and support each others' ambitions. On September 18, 1872, these ten women initiated themselves into Alpha Phi.

Alpha Phis have enjoyed a long tradition of excellence at the University of British Columbia. The Beta Theta Chapter of Alpha Phi was founded in June of 1929. The founding members took initiative and petitioned for an Alpha Phi chapter only 7 years after the University was founded. Without them the current members of Alpha Phi would not be able to enjoy all of the opportunities they paved the way for. Ever since its beginning at UBC, we have strived to succeed as leaders in the UBC community.
