One Hundred and Thirty Four Years...
Today, We Celebrate Our History.
I believe in my Fraternity.
I believe in the friendships formed in the springtime of my youth.
I believe in its high ideals which lift me up beyond myself.
I believe in its earnest drive for good scholarship, moral character, and genuine culture.
I believe in it as a shrine of international sisterhood wherein I may find love and loyalty, sympathy and understanding, inspiration and opportunity.
I believe in it as a creator of good citizenship, helping me to do my work well, to live in harmony with others, and to serve my country and to trust in God.
I believe in my Fraternity.
I believe in Alpha Phi.
-Annette Holt Hitchcock, Pi 1912
In 1872, 10 young women gathered together in a small room and made a promise. Their promise was simple but filled with power. Their promise, which is now very old, remains remarkable and relevant today.
HAPPY FOUNDERS' DAY!
