About Us.
Alpha Phi was founded at Syracuse University by ten of the
first nineteen women admitted to the newly-opened university.
These ten women with "brave hearts were filled with a noble
purpose and eyes that saw clearly into the future." These were
the Original Ten, the Founders of Alpha Phi. Pursuing their studies
in a thoroughly male-dominated environment, these women had a
pressing need for friends who could sympathize with each other's
problems and support each others' aspirations. On September 18,
1872, these ten women initiated themselves into Alpha Phi.
