Laura and Saxaphi,

SaxAphi...
Yes i did receive your PM, i am sorry i hadnt replied since now. I have been packing for a weekend trip i am chaperoning this weekend as well as haunting my mail box or email to hear something. The reason why i choose Alpha Phi is because from what i saw on here and what i read on the website i knew this is one the place i would feel like i would fit in. I love how Alpha Phi emphasis and cultivates friendship, and encourages the bond in so many ways. I also loved the idea of the a watchgroup for woman and fosters the idea of promoting their health in the range of cardiac care and so many other womans needs.
There is so much i wanted to find in a group that the others would not or could not fullfill. I started my search a long time ago when i left college ( 1995) and the idea of Alumnae Initiations were really unheard of then. The other reason i choose Alpha Phi is not because they offer AI like a lot of others groups do now, but because everything i ever believed in and wanted to belong was offered ten times over in Alpha Phi. In college and through rush you have to make a decisionthat will impact yoru life for life and you only have a few days to make that choice. However i had a lot of time to really perform research and decide where i wanted to go and belong and i feel this decision is the best decision i have made in such a long time.
I don't believe in the concept you buy your sisters. I believe you choose who your sisters are. and by doing that your making a choice to belong with the very best. Alpha Phi has soooo much to offer in sisterhood, choices, philantropy. The question begs to be answered how could i not join such a awesome group with awesome sisters such as Alpha Phi.
