Welcome to the University of Georgia and congratulations on deciding to go through recruitment! On behalf of my sisters in Alpha Phi, we cannot wait to meet each and every one of you that will walk through our front door this August! Some of you will find your homes in Alpha Phi while others of you will go on to join another one of the amazing organizations we have in our Greek community. Formal recruitment holds a special place in the hearts of all Alpha Phis because it is our time to share with you why we call this chapter home. We are here to help you navigate through this new chapter of your life and help you find women who will lift you up through the next four years and more importantly, the rest of your life. 

Throughout recruitment we truly love sharing our chapter’s values and our sisters many beautiful and unique characteristics with you all. As Alpha Phis, our sisterhood, leadership on campus and in the community, commitment to scholarship, loyalty to one another, and dedication to service unite and empower us as collegiate women. Going through recruitment, I saw the deep alignment the women of Alpha Phi had with these values. Being a member of this sorority has taught me more than I ever thought possible. I have learned the importance of living out your values each and every day and through Alpha Phi I have been given the outlet and community to do so. I have been so lucky to find women that inspire me with their drive, kindness, and deep-rooted love for each other. 

I feel so proud to say, “I am an Alpha Phi” and to share my college experience with over 280 women who are leaders, scholars, philanthropists, and loyal sisters. I owe so much of my college experience to the women of the Kappa Epsilon chapter of Alpha Phi. Without them, my experience wouldn’t be the same.  Coming from out of state, my sisters in Alpha Phi have managed to make feel at home each and every day. I owe so many of my personal and academic achievements to this organization, its ideals which lift me up beyond myself, and its members. With recruitment you will be lead to a group of women who keep you here, who you can make a difference with, and who encourage you, provide you with unconditional love and support you in lifelong achievement. I hope you find a home that nurtures your mind and soul like Alpha Phi has for us. 

We can’t wait to see you in August and see where Greek Life takes you! You will find greatness in all that you do!
