International President Kate Halfon (Eta Delta-CSU East Bay)
Alpha Phi has always strived to push beyond our current limits and see what more we can do. It all started when Martha Foote Crow said this after the Fraternity established the first chapter: “There is work enough for all of us and today is no day to be idle.” Her words – and those from many Alpha Phis who came after her – remind us that there is always more work to do to make ourselves, our communities and Alpha Phi better. Our mission states that “Alpha Phi is a loyal sisterhood of women courageously pursing limitless excellence.” This statement is at the core of who we are as a sisterhood and who we will continue to be beyond our college years. In this winter issue of the Quarterly , you will learn about our amazing sister, youth sports mentor, BIPOC social justice advocate and former professional ice hockey player Saroya Tinker (Iota Chi-Yale), who embodies this mission in all her work both on and off the ice. I hope you find her story as inspiring as I did. Throughout this issue and in future issues, you will also learn about other Alpha Phis who pursue limitless excellence in their career and communities. We are lucky to have so many amazing members working tirelessly to make a difference. Alpha Phi believes strongly in this mission for all of its members and pushes those who take the extra step to volunteer their time for us to always keep these powerful words in mind. We strive to provide meaningful training that can benefit them not only
in their volunteer roles, but also personally and professionally, propelling them to pursue limitless excellence in a variety of areas. We are so fortunate to have almost 2,000 members volunteering for us and look forward to all they will achieve. We are always looking for more volunteers and encourage you to join us in this pursuit. I know many people feel the same as I — that we have gained so much more than we have ever given. Volunteering alongside your Alpha Phi sisters is a wonderful way to give back.
Loyally,
Kate Halfon (Eta Delta-CSU East Bay) International President
