A Letter From Our Chapter President

Hello and Welcome to the Theta Tau Chapter of Alpha Phi!

Serving as Chapter President of Theta Tau has been one of the most meaningful parts of my college experience, largely because of the extraordinary women I get to call my sisters. Every day, they remind me what sisterhood truly means, and they inspire everyone around them through their involvement across the RPI campus community and their commitment to academic excellence. Beyond our chapter, so many of our members go on to lead in their fields and communities, proof that Alpha Phi shapes women who are not only accomplished, but genuinely well-rounded. I'm endlessly grateful to be surrounded by women who lift each other up every single day.

Each sister brings her own passions and interests, but we're united by a shared foundation: our high ideals of character, innovation, generosity, and sisterhood. These values live in everything we do, from the small moments to the milestones we celebrate together. Some of my favorite memories and most life-changing experiences trace directly back to this chapter: living with my closest friends, traveling to International Convention alongside our incredible Vice Presidents, and finding a community that has pushed me to grow in ways I never expected. As I navigate a demanding course load and the challenges of earning a degree at RPI, these women are my home away from home.

Each year, our chapter hosts major philanthropy events including the Red Dress Gala, Alpha Phi Heartthrob, and Take Heart/Heart Health Week; all in support of the Alpha Phi Foundation, which funds women's heart health research, academic scholarships, and leadership development. This cause holds a special place in our hearts, and I'm proud of the impact we help create. Beyond our international philanthropy, our sisters are just as passionate about giving back locally: volunteering at food pantries, cleaning up local parks, and organizing food and clothing drives, always seeking new ways to serve. We're equally invested in supporting our fellow Greek life chapters at RPI, working alongside them to build a stronger, more connected campus community.

This chapter holds a permanent place in my heart. It has given me genuine, lasting friendships with women who are driven, compassionate, and destined for great things. Take a look around our website and follow us on social media to learn more about what makes Alpha Phi at RPI so special.

Love & AOE,
