Alpha Epsilon Phi National Sorority
Alpha Epsilon Phi was founded on October 24th, 1909 at Barnard College in New York. This sorority values life long friendship, academics, social involvement, and community service. Currently there are chapters of Alpha Epsilon Phi at over 50 colleges across the country. Although this is a historically religious sorority, it is not a religious organization and is open to all women and serves to appreciate the Jewish faith as well as the past struggles women have had. In 1951, Alpha Epsilon Phi joined the National Panhellenic Conference. Alpha Epsilon Phi’s national philanthropies are The Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation as well as Sharsheret. The mission statement is “The mission of Alpha Epsilon Phi Sorority is to inspire and support exemplary women dedicated to friendship and lifelong commitment to Alpha Epsilon Phi while building on the vision of our Jewish founders - February 1996”. The women initiated into Alpha Epsilon Phi live by the motto "Multa Corda, Una Causa" which means "Many Hearts, One Purpose".
