DEI & ALPHA PHI

At Alpha Phi, we believe that diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are fundamental to building a supportive and empowering sisterhood. Our chapter is committed to fostering an environment where all individuals feel welcomed, respected, and valued for who they are. We actively strive to embrace differences, create inclusive spaces, and promote equity through education, dialogue, and action. By prioritizing DEI, we aim to enrich our sisterhood with diverse perspectives and ensure every member feels empowered to thrive both personally and academically.
