Our creed illustrates the
core values of our Fraternity, and the quote, “I believe
in its earnest drive for good scholarship,” describes
our desire to learn and achieve success academically. As a
chapter we strive for academic excellence.
Time is a limited commodity
and scholarship is our number one priority in college. As
Alpha Phis, we utilize our programming department to ensure
that all academic needs are met and promoted through scholarship
programs, goal setting sessions, and faculty involvement in
our everyday operations. We strive to promote a positive morale
regarding scholarship throughout our chapter. Our chapter
strives to consistently stay above the Women’s All Sorority
GPA.
Our recently modified scholarship
program targets academic excellence through targeting each
individual member’s needs. Instead of having general
requirements, we have revamped our scholarship program to
ensure academic success for every member. This program recognizes
individual achievement and rewards both outcome and effort.
Our Director of Scholarship meets members periodically throughout
the semester to set attainable academic goals for the school
year. A form is filled out at the start of the semester, mid-semester,
and at the conclusion to aid in setting goals, measuring progress,
and monitoring general academic needs. At the conclusion of
the semester the Director of Scholarship and the member evaluate
the final progress.
Another key factor to academic
excellence is encompassing scholarship in our everyday programming
and operations. Alpha Phi encourages each sister to balance
the high demands of an academic schedule with leadership responsibilities.
A combination of leadership and scholarship is the combination
to success and we instill this in our everyday operations.
The Alpha Phi Foundation annually
awards significant scholarships for both undergraduate and
graduate studies.
Applications for these scholarships are available online and
are due in the spring each year.
