Welcome to Alpha Phi

 
Alina

Hello! Welcome to Alpha Phi at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The Zeta Phi chapter, MIT’s first sorority, is a group of friendly, ambitious, and talented women. Each of our sisters has outstanding personal accomplishments, and the support that each receives from the chapter is overwhelming. Here at Alpha Phi, we foster an environment that is encouraging and challenging, as we always expect the best of each other and of ourselves.

The Zeta Phi chapter was founded in 1984 by a group of accomplished, driven, and social women. Today, we pride ourselves in carrying on that same vision of excellence. We are involved in countless on and off-campus activities and excel in each of MIT’s 21 majors. The close friendships formed within our chapter make our college experience unforgettable, as we make memories that will last us a lifetime.

Please enjoy browsing through our website to learn more about our ever-evolving chapter and our experiences in Alpha Phi. We will continue to keep you updated about our recent and upcoming events, as well as spotlight individual sisters and alumnae as they continue to accomplish great feats.


aoe,
Alina Gatowski
Chapter President

  Recent Events

Silver Semi Formal - December 10:

Come the end of the semester, the Alpha Phi’s gathered together to celebrate the end of another semester. Our social chairs planned an excellent event at the Sheraton in Boston.  The night was spent in laughter, dancing, and enjoying one another’s company.  All in all it was a grand success due to the hard work that our social chairs put into making this event memorable!

Holiday Mixer - December 4:

As December rolled around, the sophomores in Alpha Phi worked hard to make sure that Holiday Mixer was a grand success. Having added a faculty hour before the main event, girls were able to host faculty members, as well as friends.  The Logarhythms performed various numbers, and everyone enjoyed food, friends, and pictures with Santa!
