Alpha Phis are passionate about advancing not only the lives of our sisters, but the lives of women around the world. Whether it’s initiating community service efforts, raising awareness for heart health or navigating the unique and challenging issues facing women on today’s college campuses, we stand together boldly to make a difference on our campuses and in our communities.

In 1956, Alpha Phi became one of the first women’s fraternities to establish a Foundation. Today, the Alpha Phi Foundation is a thriving, well-known and respected philanthropic leader in the Greek community. The Alpha Phi Foundation is dedicated to advancing women’s lives through the power of philanthropy.

Here’s how we support our sisters and empower women to reach their highest potential:

• Women’s Heart Health: Alpha Phi Foundation cares about improving women’s heart health, and has supported education and research since our dedication to the cause in 1946. Each year, a $100,000 Heart to Heart grant is awarded to medical professionals to better understand heart disease in women.
• Scholarships: More than 80 scholarships are awarded each year to help Alpha Phis pursue undergraduate and graduate degrees.
• Support in Times of Need: Alpha Phis are sisters for life, supporting one another through every life stage and helping each other in times of need. Alpha Phi Foundation exemplifies this life-long support through the Forget Me Not Grant Fund, which provides critical assistance to our sisters in moments of hardship.
• Leadership Development:  Alpha Phi supports our members as they develop, grow and empower others in leadership with cutting-edge training and programs. Alpha Phi Foundation is committed to supporting Alpha Phi in providing innovative leadership programs and training opportunities for members, including the Alpha Phi Leadership held at Disney each year.

We empower women to achieve their highest potential through our programs. Alpha Phi supports its members through all phases of life, ensuring that every sister has the tools and resources to succeed. You can learn more about the Alpha Phi Foundation here.

Alpha Phi chapters raise more than $2,000,000 for the Alpha Phi Foundation each year, and we are thrilled for Arkansas Alpha Phis to have the opportunity to raise awareness and funds for heart health at their first philanthropy events this year.

A signature event in Alpha Phi is our Red Dress Gala, and Arkansas Alpha Phi will be hosting their first one this spring! Our Red Dress Gala will be a special event that brings together Alpha Phis, family, friends and the entire community in support of women’s heart health. It will be an evening of elegance and purpose and include guest speakers, a silent auction and opportunities to raise awareness about heart health. We can’t wait for our founding members and the University of Arkansas to experience this event.

Alpha Phi members will have the chance to shape the future of Alpha Phi’s philanthropic contributions at the University of Arkansas through the creation of the chapter’s other philanthropy events.

Alpha Phis will also initiate the chapter’s first community service efforts this year! Alpha Phi is building a partnership with the Arkansas Children’s Hospital Northwest in Springdale.

In Alpha Phi, you can create a legacy of generosity, passion and service. You will make an impact at the University of Arkansas and in the NWA community in Alpha Phi!
