Alpha Phi

Chapter Biography

The sisters of the Epsilon Iota Chapter of Alpha Phi participate in several events both in the community and on campus. Alpha Phi's primary philanthropy is the Alpha Phi Foundation, which provides leadership and educational opportunities, encourages superior scholarship and supports women's cardiac health. We hold many fundraisers throughout the year to support this cause. In addition to volunteer work to support this philanthropy, we also volunteer in the community as well. We have participated in other areas, such as: soup kitchens, medical supply fundraising & collection, humane society volunteering and nursing home service just to name a few. We also participate in Duquesne University’s on campus events such as Carnival, Greek Week and support other Greek-sponsored events. We enjoy attending both service and social events, and strive for a balance between the two. We strive for the greatest sense of womanhood and do this by not only supporting each other, but also in supporting others of the Greek community.
