The Value of Our Volunteers From guiding our members through recruitment to serving as steadfast mentors, Alpha Phi’s volunteers are the backbone of our sisterhood. Their time, passion and talent fuel our organization, ensuring our Fraternity thrives for generations to come.
By Anna Claire Howard
Within Alpha Phi, our members are united by our pledge to lend a helping hand to our beloved Fraternity. Our members — both collegiate and alumnae — understand that Alpha Phi is more than a Greek organization; it’s a thriving community of women supporting one another for a lifetime. With 174 collegiate chapters stretched across the United States and Canada that welcome nearly 9,000 new members every year and a global network of 131 alumnae communities, our Fraternity relies on the pledge taken by each of us to support the goals of the Fraternity. Alpha Phi would not be the organization it is today without our dedicated volunteers of the past and present. Women who freely give their time, expertise and hearts to support our chapters and members have made an immense impact. From our collegiate chapters to our global community of alumnae, the efforts of our volunteers are inspiring. Their unwavering dedication, support and mentorship as advisors and leaders tremendously impact our Fraternity.
Volunteering not only impacts the members served; our volunteers also benefit personally and professionally from their roles. Volunteering is the perfect way to stay engaged with our Fraternity after graduation while building connections and further developing your skills. We are always thankful for the work and time our volunteers and advisors dedicate to our Fraternity. Take it from Alpha Phi’s executive director and past International President, Renee Zainer (Beta Epsilon- Arizona) , who said it best: “Our volunteers create an immeasurable impact on Alpha Phi through their unwavering dedication. Their commitment to our members, chapters and Fraternity drives our success and inspires us daily.” Many of our volunteers are asked by family members and even other alumnae why they volunteer for Alpha Phi. For those answers, we asked a few of our dedicated volunteers how our Fraternity has impacted their lives through giving back.
