Alpha Phi is a sisterhood of outstanding women supporting one another in lifelong achievement.
Purpose of our Fraternity
The objectives of our Fraternity are the promotion of growth in character; unity of feeling, sisterly affection, and social communion among our members. In all that we do, we try to obey God’s principles of justice and right. We have banded ourselves together to improve our minds and hearts, and we seek to aid each other through a constant watchcare always given in love. We believe ourselves to be sincere searchers for truth. We seek the highest ideal of womanhood, and we try to gain this ideal by cultivating not only the power and passion for seeking intellectual development but, also, the spirit of love and charity. And we who are thus united are under a solemn pledge to lend a helping hand to one another. ‐ Constitution of Alpha Phi International Fraternity, Incorporated, Article II
Family
Alpha Phi International Fraternity, and the Delta Delta chapter of Alpha Phi at Oklahoma City University, believe there are many beneficial aspects of being a member of Alpha Phi:
Academics: Our members take academics very seriously, which shows through in our scholarship program. We support your daughter's vision to excel and to be a leader in and out of the classroom. We hope to foster your daughter's creativity and drive in all aspects of her collegiate experience.
Commitment: At Alpha Phi, we are committed to your daughter's membership experience. Our Founders’ vision was to create a women's organization based on sisterhood, scholarship and service. Today, we still hold these values in all that we do, and to each member.
Sisterhood: The bonds of friendship formed in Alpha Phi tie our members together for a lifetime, not just for college. It is these friendships formed that lead to smiles, laughter, tears and ultimately, the unforgettable memories your daughter will make. In Alpha Phi, it is the individual that makes the difference in the experience - and a collection of brilliant individuals leads to the experience of a lifetime.
Tradition: Alpha Phi was founded by ten women, and when these women were denied entrance into men's fraternities, they decided to create their own and begin a path of sisterhood and friendship. At Alpha Phi, we uphold the traditions started by these ten remarkable women. While we live in the present, our past traditions bind us all together.
