Linfield Alpha Phi
Theta Alpha Chapter
We put the "Phi" in Philanthropy!
In 1956, Alpha Phi was one of the first women's fraternities to establish a Foundation. The Alpha Phi Foundation is dedicated to advancing leadership development, encouraging academic excellence, improving women's heart health, supporting sisters in need and educating about the value of philanthropy. Each year the Foundation awards the Heart to Heart Cardiac Care grant to an organization focused on women's cardiac research. (alphaphi.org, 2015). To find out more information on our philanthropy, please visit www.alphaphi.org.
Alpha phi supports our community at Linfield by donating our time, money, and support to not only our own philanthropy, but to our fellow Greek organizations. Alpha Phi now has three philanthropy events, which are Red Dress Gala, King of Hearts and Move Your Phi't. Follow our Facebook, Twitter and Instagram for updates and ticket information!
Red Dress Gala
In the spring, we host our annual Red Dress Gala. We invite parents, alumnae, faculty, staff, sisters and friends to join us for a dinner, live music, a cardiac health presentation, and silent auction. We look forward to hosting our upcoming annual Red Dress Gala in the Spring of 2015!
King of Hearts
The King of Hearts Pageant kicked off its first year this last fall and has been our most successful philanthropy event yet! Men nominated from all Greek life chapters compete to win the title of Mr.King of Hearts and will represent our chapter at all future philanthropy events.
The week of the pageant, competitors raise money through collecting coins at the ‘Eat your heart out’ spaghetti feed and poker tournament. The pageant consists of a talent, swim wear contest, and question & answer section involving facts about our philanthropy.
Congratulations to Tom Steelhammer of Kappa Sigma on being Alpha Phi's King of Hearts 2014-2015 and thank you for all your help in raising awareness for Women's Cardiac Care and the Alpha Phi Foundation!
