Always, Alpha Phi
in Dallas to ask about getting involved. She invited me to the next meeting, and I’ve been a member ever since. Over the years, I’ve stayed active and held every office we have! Through my involvement, I’ve made lifelong friends who are truly my tribe and support system. I’m thankful every day for the connection we share and the sisters who stand beside me through all life’s seasons. What’s your fondest memory from your time in your alumnae community? Megan: I would say meeting new people and introducing them to some of our annual events like Wine Welcome in September and the Ornament Exchange in December. Marla: Many fond memories of past Founders' Day celebrations! Over the years, we've held our celebration at some of the most amazing venues, including The Dallas Museum of Art, The Dallas Arboretum, The Nasher Sculpture Center and Chestnut Square Historic Village in McKinney, Texas. One year, I was even honored with our Community’s Service Awards on Founders' Day! What would you say to members considering joining an alumnae community? Megan: Don’t be afraid to put yourself out there. I joined an alumnae community to meet people after moving to a new place. We’re all sisters, and we’re here for each other. Marla: By reaching out to your alumnae community, you gain instant friends, professional contacts and a support system. Especially if you move somewhere new without many connections, there’s no better way to meet people. If you ever need anything, you’ll have sisters nearby to lean on. Plus, we have so much fun! It’s a great way to take a break for yourself and connect with other women. Remember: Once an Alpha Phi, always an Alpha Phi.
