Founding Sister Miranda Talks About Relay For Life

This past Friday, my Alpha Pi Phi sisters, pledges and I participated in Brock’s Relay for Life to raise money for cancer research. I’m so proud to say that we beat our goal and raised over $600!

Raising money by doing the Relay for Life is a very important cause to me, as well as many of the other sisters. In fact, I am unsure that I know someone who hasn't been affected in some way or another by cancer. My Grandpa and Pepere have passed away due to cancer and my Grandma and older Sister are both cancer survivors. It has a horrible affect on families and friends so raising money for this cause could not be more important to me! On the Relay for Life website, they talk about this night celebrating cancer survivors and paying tribute to loved ones and I couldn’t be happier to be taking part in this event, especially with my sisters!

At the event, we stayed up for 12 hours walking the track and participating in events such as yoga, movies, playing basketball, a presentation by Dan who is a cancer survivor, playing cards, hanging out with the ΖΨ brothers and tons of other activities. We also got to listen to the entertainment which was amazing!

As a founder of APP Sorority, one of our first philanthropy events was a Relay for Life and when our philanthropy chair, Alexa, announced that this year we were supporting this cause again, I couldn't have been happier! It's amazing to have so many supportive girls raising money for such an amazing cause :) I:)’m so proud to be a part of this awesome and strong group of girls because we are making a difference and raising awareness! Altogether, everyone participating at Brock’s Relay for Life raised $11,001.41!

A Message From Founding Sister Jenna

Hi all!! Jenna, founding sister, here! I just wanted to write a quick blog to say how proud I am of everything Beta Chapter has accomplished in less than two years! It’s pretty amazing! Alpha-Beta-and-Gamma class! It is absolutely amazing to come to an event and see 30+ smiling faces greet me!

We recently pledged 11 beautiful and wonderful ladies for our Gamma class! Gamma class already – WOW?!?! These ladies all stand for the qualities of love, loyalty and friendship! These girls stand for grace, dignity and academic excellence. Every single one of these astonishing, young women brings something unique and beautiful to Alpha Pi Phi. One brings simple elegance, another brings a Latina twist, while another brings a crazy personality that just you just can’t help but always smile at, just to name a few.

It is absolutely amazing that feeling you get when you go home and visit your high school and wear your letters or that feeling when you find out who you’re BIG is and even the feeling when you finally decide that this sorority is the one for you. I would like to think that Alpha Pi Phi has influenced and enhanced every single one of these beautiful ladies lives in the best way ever! For me, there is no doubt and there never was! Alpha Pi Phi is my family away from home! My best friends and my sisters for life!

Phi Love Always,
Sister Jenna E.
