Our Values

Alpha Phi International Fraternity, and the Theta Alpha chapter of Alpha Phi at Linfield University, believe there are many beneficial aspects of being a member of Alpha Phi:

​

Sisterhood

Alpha Phi membership means always having someone to confide in, someone to share new experiences with, someone to conquer difficult challenges with, and someone to cheer you on as you achieve things you never thought possible. Being a member of Alpha Phi is empowering, and we believe in the impact these unique experiences have to transform us into women who will change the world. In Alpha Phi, you’ll find sisters who want the best for one another and expect the best of each other—every step of the way and through every season of life.

​​

Innovation

Alpha Phi’s uniqueness is rooted in the spirit of innovation originated by Alpha Phi’s ten Founders in 1872. As they made history as the first female students on campus, several decided that they were not satisfied with merely participating in the classroom. Denied admission to the men’s fraternities, our Founders chose to create their own fraternity for women.

​

Generosity

Alpha Phis are passionate about advancing not only the lives of our sisters, but the lives of women around the world. Whether it’s initiating community service efforts, raising awareness for heart health or navigating the unique and challenging issues facing women on today’s college campuses, we stand together boldly to make a difference on our campuses and in our communities.

 

Character

In Alpha Phi, you join a network of bold, driven women who respect and support one another for a lifetime. An Alpha Phi woman sets high expectations for herself and her sisters, and learns to lead by example—whether she’s making a difference in the community, on campus, or in the classroom.​
