High Energy, Higher Leadership From prep rallies to learning sessions, Leadership Conference 2026 left sisters energized, inspired and ready to lead.

Sunshine. Energy. Inspiration. Fun. Insightful.
Those are just a few words collegians used to describe Leadership Conference 2026. Each year, Alpha Phi hosts an immersive leadership experience for collegiate officers and dedicated alumnae volunteers, equipping them with the tools and confidence to lead their chapters with purpose. Over two unforgettable weekends in January and February, members connected, collaborated and grew together. They exchanged ideas with fellow executive council members, learned from seasoned volunteers and engaged in dynamic educational sessions led by Alpha Phi Executive Office (EO) staff and volunteers. And of course, no Alpha Phi event would be complete without sisterhood at its heart. Leadership Conference created countless opportunities to laugh, build meaningful connections and return home with memories that will last long after the the conference weekends. Leadership Conference 2026 was held over two in-person weekends at the Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel. Weekend One, January 30-February 1, welcomed South and West chapters, whose enthusiasm set the tone for the weeks ahead. Weekend Two, February 6-8, brought together North and East chapters for another inspiring round of learning and connection. A virtual conference on January 25 also allowed members to participate in the experience and access valuable educational content from afar. Friday South/West and North/East chapters arrived at the Sheraton Denver Downtown on Friday, instantly filling the lobby with Alpha Phi pride. Members traveled to the Mile High City in coordinated chapter sweatsuits in some of our favorite hues: Bordeaux (of course!), steel blue, ivy, blush and ivory. Many added custom lettering to their travel gear, proudly showcasing chapter names and executive council titles.
