A letter from our President,
Hello everyone! My name is Trinity Ballash and I am so grateful and unbelievably honored to serve the Kappa Eta Chapter of Alpha Phi as Chapter President this year.
Alpha Phi International Fraternity is more than a Greek organization. It is a community of empowered women supporting each other beyond your four years of college. Alpha Phi was established in 1872 with the vision of sisterhood and the confidence in one another to make an impact. Our sisterhood stretches across 176 collegiate chapters in the US and Canada and a global network of high-achieving alumni. When you join Alpha Phi, you are welcomed into a community of more than 250,000 dedicated, strong, and loving women who cherish personal growth, long-lasting friendships, leadership, and academics. When I think of Alpha Phi, I think of the best friends, countless memories, growth, and strong bonds I have made with my sisters.
Three years ago, I was moving away from everything I knew and was so anxious, nervous, and scared to go to the University of Florida. When I got to UF, I realized there are endless opportunities to get involved and ways to meet so many different people, which is why I chose to go through sorority recruitment. When I ran home to Alpha Phi, I found kindness and love that continuously inspires me to be the best version of myself. It was at this time I understood that I had found a sisterhood that gave me my lifelong best friends. From the big to the little moments this sisterhood will always be there, no matter what.
As I reflect on my collegiate experience, I feel so incredibly lucky to call the University of Florida and Alpha Phi my home. Alpha Phi has truly changed my life and I would not be the person I am today without it. This chapter has given me so much and I am endlessly thankful for it. Words cannot describe how inspired I am by the members of this chapter each and every day. I have had the opportunity to become a leader in the Greek community, find my future bridesmaids, build an amazing support system, grow out of my comfort zone, shine in academics, and give back to the community.
I hope you enjoy our website and learn more about our amazing organization that has changed many lives. To all sisters, potential new members, and alumnae please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns you may have. Alpha Phi is always here for you and will support you through anything.
AOE,
Trinity Ballash
