Scholarship

Just as the founding sisters placed high values on academics, the sisters of the Iota Mu chapter of Alpha Phi emphasize the importance of scholarship. Scholarship makes up a major portion of each woman’s college experience, and thus is placed at high priority within the chapter. Our chapter assists in providing its sisters help and opportunities in a multitude of ways.

As a member of Alpha Phi, each sister is encouraged and supported by a wide network of academic resources. Our scholarship programs include weekly study hours, peer tutoring, study buddies and mentoring. As well, each sister must maintain a specified GPA in order to be an active member. Sisters who reach President’s and Dean’s list are rewarded with special events at the end of each semester.

In order for academics to be the highest priority, the Alpha Phi Foundation provides scholarships, grants and loans to sisters who are seeking financial help.

Emerging Leaders Institute

In addition to supporting sisters inside the classroom, Alpha Phi develops and supports its sisters to become leaders outside of the classroom both within campus and on a national level. Sisters have held leadership positions on campus that range from publications to student government.

To further hone in on their leadership ability, Alpha Phi hosts the Emerging Leaders Institute (ELI) each year. ELI is a five-day intensive opportunity for freshmen and sophomore women to define their voice, identify their leadership skills and abilities, and learn how to impact their chapter and their community.

This past summer, the Iota Mu chapter sent Kayla Murray to ELI.
