Alpha Phi
Academics
From freshman year to graduation, Alpha Phi is committed to supporting each member’s academic journey. Scholarship is a core value of the Sigma Chapter, with a strong focus on educational excellence. New members are encouraged to maintain their studies through weekly study sessions and collaborative groups with chapter peers. This culture of academic support fosters success from freshmen through seniors, as we work together to achieve our goals. As a top 5 UW chapter in academic performance, we are dedicated to upholding the highest standards of scholarship.
Each quarter, we proudly recognize members who achieve a GPA of 3.5 or higher with Dean’s List honors, celebrating their dedication and success.
Study Abroad
Each quarter, members of the Sigma Chapter take full advantage of the opportunity to study abroad, embracing the chance to expand their horizons and immerse themselves in new cultures and environments. This unique experience not only enriches their academic journey but also fosters personal growth as they engage with diverse global perspectives. Traveling abroad allows our sisters to step outside the familiar Seattle area, broaden their understanding of the world, and gain invaluable experiences that shape both their education and character.
Back home, the women in Seattle look up to those abroad, inspired by their courage to explore new cultures and challenge themselves outside their comfort zones. As they see their sisters growing, developing, and adapting to new environments, it motivates them to embrace their own opportunities for personal and academic growth, knowing the power of stepping outside the familiar.
Opportunities
At Alpha Phi, we prioritize the development of leadership skills and professional growth from the very beginning, offering members valuable resume-building opportunities within the chapter. Through leadership roles and active participation in chapter activities, our sisters gain practical experience in management, event coordination, and team collaboration—skills that are essential for thriving in any career.
Beyond the chapter house, our strong alumni network and connections within the Seattle area open doors to a wide array of prestigious internships and career opportunities. Members have secured positions at top-tier companies such as Nordstrom Corporate, Adobe, Amazon, Swedish Hospital, Ernst & Young, Deloitte, and Expedia, leveraging the chapter’s resources and network to establish a solid foundation for their professional futures.
Our commitment to lifelong success extends post-graduation through Sigma Chapter alumnae panels and ongoing networking events, providing members with continued guidance and opportunities to build meaningful professional relationships. With these resources and a culture of excellence, Alpha Phi prepares its members to excel in any industry, empowering them to become impactful leaders in their chosen fields.
