Alpha Phi is the One to Be! Formal recruitment is a process that takes place during the fall of every academic school year where women interested in joining a sorority have the opportunity to meet and talk with a plethora of amazing women from all three chapters: Alpha Phi, Alpha Xi Delta, and Sigma Sigma Sigma. Recruitment is a special experience for women because it is a time to meet passionate individuals who could become life long sisters. We highly encourage you to sign up to see if sorority life is a good fit for you! If you would like more information about recruitment, email us: [email protected]
Joining Alpha Phi in Fall 2016 was a life-changing experience. Coming from my town, I didn’t know what to expect of my new home in La Crosse. What I did know was that getting involved in an organization would be an experience I would cherish for years to come. The day I received my bid, I knew that the experience had just begun. The women of Alpha Phi welcomed me in with open arms and big smiles, immediately creating inseparable bonds and one of the greatest support systems I have ever had. From day one my sisters have believed in me and pushed me to be my best self. I began my leadership journey holding the position of external philanthropy, then VP of Membership Recruitment, and finally making it to a goal of mine, President of the Delta Kappa chapter. From my first position to now, and all in between, I have seen myself grow and develop into an individual that I never knew was capable of such things. This chapter has motivated me to see those capabilities and lend a helping hand no matter what. I have enjoyed participating in and watching our philanthropy events grow so successfully, as well as watching our recruitment continue to soar. When looking back at my college experience, I have Alpha Phi to thank for the endless opportunities that I have encountered. UWL Alpha Phi will forever be my home away from home. It’s not four years, it’s for life.
Love and AOE, MilenaRajkovic
