Alpha Phi Ohio State
Union hand in hand
WHO WE ARE AT ALPHA PHI RHO
Since the Rho chapter's founding in 1912, our members have continuously redefined what it means to be a sister of Alpha Phi and a woman at The Ohio State University. Our sisters are scholars, athletes, artists, and catalysts for change for their peers and community. We are committed to our chapter's personal and professional growth while leaving an undeniably positive impact not only on OSU's campus but the world around us after graduating as a Buckeye.
OUR VALUES
SISTERHOOD
Alpha Phi OSU cherishes life-long friendships that are stemmed from the ivy leaf that twines kindness, love, and respect for one another. Just as the Lily of the Valley and Forget-me-not flower needs the cheerful sunshine and dreary rain to flourish, our sisterhood supports one another through the good and bad times, whether helping one another with academics, celebrating an accomplishment or simply being a good friend.
SCHOLARSHIP
Alpha Phi values each member's passion for education, knowledge, and achievement. Our founders were ten of the first twenty women admitted to Syracuse University in 1872 and they had the courage to persevere to earn a college education despite societal expectations at the time.
SERVICE
Alpha Phi Foundation is one of the oldest Greek foundations and works to raise awareness and funds supporting women's heart health. Alpha Phi OSU supports those in need through service and philanthropy, specifically in various events such as our annual Red Dress Gala and Hoops for Heart.
LEADERSHIP
Alpha Phi Ohio State leads by example and strives for continuous, innovative improvement through our Executive Board and directors. Alpha Phi's founders encouraged one another to think, invent and improve. This pioneering spirit can be seen throughout Alpha Phi history and today.
LOYALTY
Alpha Phis are members for a lifetime. We learn the value of loyalty and being faithful to each other through Alpha Phi's ideals. Our members continue to be devoted and connected sisters throughout college and beyond.
CHARACTER
Alpha Phi fosters the qualities of strong character that distinguish our members and our sisterhood, including compassion, integrity, and sincerity. In Alpha Phi, all members learn to lead by example through actions and communication.
