The history of Alpha Phi is a rich tapestry. 
The history of the Fraternity reveals the thousand stories of women's struggles, triumphs, ideas and ideals. From the Fraternity's founding in 1872, through the many decades of growth, organization, triumph and commitment, members of Alpha Phi have been bold and innovative, dreaming big and working hard.

The history of Alpha Phi resides not in a single place nor is it found within a single sister's biography; it was created out of the myriad experiences of individual sisters who came together with a dream; who worked hard for what they believed in, and together created an organization that has existed for fourteen decades, alive in every sister's heart and in every sister's story.
