Since our founding in 1872, Alpha Phi has been an organization of women who come together in support of each other. When we do not support one another, we fail to fulfill our promise to our sisters. One of our biggest assets as an organization is the diverse backgrounds that each of us brings to the table. Diversity in heritage, ethnicity, religious background, upbringing, interest, and thought are all the unique pieces of each member that makes them who they are, and in turn what they bring to Alpha Phi. Alpha Phi does not support racism, bigotry, or hate of any kind. We are taking steps to continue to improve the ways we address this within our Fraternity.

​

The Alpha Phi history is a tapestry of our members’ stories and we must acknowledge that some of those stories have not always illustrated the high ideals of Alpha Phi, especially as an organization that has existed through many generations. We apologize for the actions of members that have not been aligned with the ideals of Alpha Phi. Racism, hate, bigotry and violence have no place in Alpha Phi and are in complete contradiction with our purpose; we will not stand silently by as our communities and the world are impacted by violence and injustice. If we cease to support each other in pursuit of justice, equality, kindness, safety and truth, we cease to uphold the values which Alpha Phi and so many others hold dear.
