ALPHA PHI AT THE UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS
Are you ready to make history as a founding member of the Alpha Phi chapter at the University of Arkansas?
Membership in Alpha Phi not only means a chance to find a home away from home, but you will join one of the oldest and largest international sororities. Established in 1872, Alpha Phi has 175 collegiate chapters in North America and more than 292,000 members! Here, you’ll discover a supportive family of sisters who are excited to welcome you home.
Our History
In 1872, the first women to attend Syracuse University decided that it was not enough to merely participate in the classroom. Denied admission to the men’s fraternities, several of these women chose to create their own fraternity for women. From the beginning, they envisioned an expansive sisterhood, and their leadership and organizational practices set the tone for the Alpha Phi of today. Much like our present-day membership, the Founders were a group of curious women who did not back down from a challenge — women who had a vision for our sisterhood and the confidence in one another to make an impact.
Who We Are
Every year nearly 9,000 new members find a home in Alpha Phi. Like you, they too were looking for a place where they could confide in others, share new experiences, conquer difficult challenges and achieve more than they thought possible. In Alpha Phi you’ll have sisters standing shoulder to shoulder with you through the ups and downs in college and beyond.
