My name is Alexa and I am an active Sister of Alpha Pi Phi Sorority. I was initiated into Alpha class and have fallen in love with Alpha Pi Phi and how much it has flourished over the past few years. I also have the pleasure of being the Sorority’s External Programming Officer for this upcoming 2013-2014 academic term! I decided to write this blog post over the summer as I know rush is fast approaching and many girls wonder what it is like to be a part of a Sorority in general and how they can get involved with Alpha Pi Phi. Alpha Pi Phi Sorority was established at Carleton University in 2009. The Beta chapter here at Brock was then founded by five amazing women who started this Chapter through hard work and dedication. They were committed to continuing the tradition of love, loyalty, and friendship as well as upholding the values that the Founding Mothers have established that stand as the pillars of our organization. Alpha Pi Phi also has its Gamma Chapter located in Kingston, Ontario. Having three Chapters in four short years is an amazing accomplishment and our Sorority continues to grow. I feel so privileged to not only have my Sisters here at Brock but I also have Sisters throughout Canada! Being involved with a national Sorority not only allows me to grow and seek support within my own University experience but it also allows me to have support and great networking for the rest of my life. Before deciding to rush in my first year I will admit that I was nervous and uncertain about Greek life in general. I thought about the stereotypes of Sorority women and how the media has portrayed these girls and wasn’t sure if I would be accepted. One very special aspect of this Sorority is that Alpha Pi Phi has no limit on what kind of girl can rush or how many girls get a bid. We look for girls who uphold the values set by the Founding Mothers and Sisters and who can get along with all of our diverse personalities. In short, there is no one right way to classify a girl in a Sorority. A Sorority girl has strength in herself, love for herself, friendship for all, and loyalty for those that love her. I cannot explain to anyone enough how much Alpha Pi Phi has enhanced my life. The bonds I have created with these lovely ladies are something that I know will last. This is not something that only lasts for university, it is a lifelong bond. I encourage all who are interested to check out our facebook page, website, and contact our Membership Development Officer to get more information on Alpha Pi Phi, the Classiest National Sorority. We would love to meet you! Phi , Sister Alexa K.
