A major reason our sisters chose to join Greek life is for the opportunity to give back to those in need. Through Alpha Phi's national philanthropy, we focus on women's heart health. Women's heart health remains the leading cause of death for women in the United States, accounting for nearly one in five female deaths. Despite its impact, women's heart health remains widely misunderstood and under-researched. Through our efforts and the work of the Alpha Phi Foundation, we are committed to changing that.
Internationally, each Alpha Phi Chapter host their own Red Dress Gala each year. These galas raise money and awareness for The Alpha Phi Foundation, which sends proceeds to help in women’s cardiac care. The Red Dress Gala is a black-tie event in which families, friends, and survivors gather together to make a stand for heart health while enjoying each others' company as well as a dinner, entertainment, and a silent auction.
In D-term, we host Alpha Phifa to raise money for our philanthropy! We play and referee small sized soccer games. We love being active with our sisters and the rest of campus! We also love pairing up with other Greek organizations to raise money for both of our philanthropies!
In A-term, we host Alpha Phi's Heartthrob event to raise money for our philanthropy! Individuals from various Greek life on campus compete for the title of Alpha Phi's "Heartthrob" through many rounds of beauty pageant style events, and the winner's sorority or fraternity gets to take home half the proceeds to support their philanthropy as well!
