Alpha Phi was founded in 1872 by ten of the first female students at Syracuse University. From its founding, the values of sisterhood, service and scholarship have been the foundation of Alpha Phi. In its history, the leaders of our organization built the first sorority house in America, established the first traveling consultant program, created the Alpha Phi Foundation to support women’s heart health in 1956, and launched the first sorority website. Alpha Phi is a home for women at 171 collegiate campuses across North America. Currently, Alpha Phi’s philanthropic priority is to support and promote womens heart health.
