136 years ago, ten women came together and started our beloved Alpha Phi.
Today we "honor the ten young women who banded together for advancement and development and to whom we are indebted for our beloved sisterhood."
Alpha Phi Creed
I believe in my Fraternity.
I believe in the friendships formed
in the springtime of my youth.
I believe in its high ideals
which lift me up beyond myself.
I believe in its earnest drive for good scholarship,
moral character, and genuine culture.
I believe in it as a shrine of
international sisterhood wherein
I may find love and loyalty,
sympathy and understanding inspiration
and opportunity.
I believe in it as a creator of good citizenship,
helping me to do my work well,
to live in harmony with others, and
to serve my country and to trust in God.
I believe in my Fraternity.
I believe in Alpha Phi.
- Annette Holt Hitchcock, Pi 1912
Love & AOE everyone!
