Take Note
Alpha Phi’s leadership has developed many empowering programs to actively support the growth, education, health and wellbeing of its membership during their undergraduate years and beyond.
Stand Together Alpha Phi believes that a diverse experience during college enriches each member’s ability to thrive in an inclusive society. As Alpha Phis, we expect our members to live up to our High Ideals of Membership and to show the best qualities of character by being fair, inclusive and supportive. Through the Stand Together Series programming, Alpha Phi helps members create a sense of belonging and connectedness that engages individuals in an authentic manner where uniqueness is valued, respected and supported through opportunities and interaction. We are committed to providing resources that build cultural competence, as well as to actively engage in conversations that challenge one another to uphold the highest tenants of human dignity. Stand Together programming includes: • Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Education: Presented in partnership with learning and development specialist Hailey Mangrum, the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Education curriculum supports collegians, volunteers and alumnae members’ competence and understanding of topics related to diversity, equity and inclusion. Through challenging, thought-provoking and high- impact programming suited for engagement, behavior change and learning, this curriculum aims to inspire Alpha Phis to influence change, teaches members how to challenge others while remaining respectful and equips our members to drive action in their communities. (Check out the winter 2024 issue of the Quarterly at bit. ly/Winter2024Quarterly for our conversation with Hailey and how she builds sisterhood and belonging through DEI initiatives!) • Sexual Violence Prevention Education: Alpha Phi proudly partners with industry expert Bonny Shade to present a diverse offering of resources around sexual violence education and prevention. Designed to support survivors, officers, volunteers and allies, this series of webinars and keynotes is open to all members and will impact their personal journey and community. • Behind Happy Faces: This innovative program encourages members and advisors to have authentic conversations about mental health. It can be accessed in LEARN Alpha Phi. The five core lessons of this program focus on collaborative group work and utilize a two-part system to teach interactive lessons about mental health. The four additional lessons allow participants to explore concepts of stress, procrastination and the neuroscience of happiness. • Understanding Self and Others: This program is a guided conversation that specifically addresses identity, implicit bias and the impact of language in our everyday lives. It also facilitates a conversation on the impact of intersectionality and hidden harm. Participants will explore and reflect on the role of their personal
identity. Designed to allow chapter leaders, peers or volunteers to facilitate, this program is accessed in LEARN Alpha Phi.
