International President Kate Halfon (Eta Delta-CSU East Bay)
The first time I traveled on an airplane I was 16 years old. Prior to that trip, I had only been to three states — all by driving. I was nervous and excited … and I immediately caught the travel bug. The opportunity to explore new places and learn about the world is something I continue to do with my family and friends. Travel is a great way to make connections and memories. I love when I visit chapter houses and see their “Phis Overseas” board. It is amazing to see where our collegiate Alpha Phis study and travel. In this issue, we’re highlighting alumnae who have spent time abroad, both personally and professionally. If you participated in our “Ask Alpha Phi” question on Facebook, you will also see some of those results. We all cherish our collegiate memories and the special times we have spent with our sisters. Those memories can continue after college, and travel is a great way to make it happen. How fun would it be to make those memories not only with your chapter sisters, but with other Alpha Phis? Please connect with us and let us know if you would be interested in traveling with Alpha Phi. We are exploring opportunities and welcome your thoughts. I wanted to take a moment to thank those who have sent positive feedback on the redesigned Quarterly magazine. We want to continue to make it even better, and we would love to hear from you. Please let us know what you want to see or learn about in future editions. You can submit article ideas, share feedback or submit photos to quarterly@alphaphi.org.
I look forward to seeing those of you attending our upcoming biennial convention in Palm Springs, California, in June. Both collegiate and alumnae Alpha Phis will gather to conduct Fraternity business, receive thoughtful training and development and celebrate our sisterhood. If you have never been to Convention, I urge you to consider adding it to your bucket list, gathering some sisters and traveling there for a reunion.
Loyally,
Kate Halfon (Eta Delta-CSU East Bay) International President
