ABOUT ALPHA PHI
OUR INTERNATIONAL HISTORY
Alpha Phi International Fraternity was founded at Syracuse University in 1872. The Original Ten founders of Alpha Phi were women of courageous vision and pioneering hearts as they pursued their studies in a largely male-dominated university. On September 18, 1872, the Original Ten initiated themselves into Alpha Phi and their sorority house was the world’s first sorority house. Since then, Alpha Phi has grown to exist on over 160 collegiate campuses worldwide.
