Future Sisters,

​

Hi, my name is Amber Shell, and I am extremely honored to serve as Alpha Phi’s Vice President of Membership Recruitment. As Formal Recruitment is just around the corner, I speak not only for myself, but the entire Iota Mu chapter, when I say we cannot wait to meet every single one of you this August. My hope for formal recruitment is that we can share who we are as a chapter and show you why Alpha Phi means so much to us all.

​​

Recruitment is undoubtedly an exciting time for new members and current members alike; however, those feelings of excitement and anticipation are also accompanied by feelings of nervousness and doubt. You are not alone in those feelings or questions, we all felt them too. When I went through recruitment I didn't know what to expect, but I can assure you that I found a group of strong, intelligent, fun, loving women who have ultimately become my best friends.​

​

My sisters have and continue to support and challenge me to be the best sister, student, friend, and person I can be. Through Alpha Phi, I have found my network across campus, my best friends, and, most importantly, my home away from home.

​

As I move into my last year as a Yellow Jacket, the letters Alpha and Phi have transformed into so much more than just two greek letters... they encapsulate countless memories, laughs, tears and friendships. I feel so much gratitude for this chapter. I have no doubt that our newest members will experience all the same. ​

To my sisters, thank you. I love you all, and I’m so excited to spend this last year with you. Thank you for the opportunity to give back to our chapter that has given so much to me.​

Love & AOE,

Amber Shell

Vice President of Membership Recruitment

The Alpha Phi sisterhood is a true and everlasting bond that serves as the foundation from which our chapter is built. To be a sister of Alpha Phi is to be a part of an exceptional friendship that begins on bid day and that will last long after our college years have faded.  Sisterhood means not only supporting one another, but also holding each other to the highest standard. As Alpha Phis, we inspire our sisters to be their best selves. From the day new members receive their bids to graduation, we focus on the enjoyment of being sisters and friends for life! To even further expand this unique bond, our chapter organizes many events throughout the year. From renting out movie theaters, to ice cream socials, yoga classes, and just hanging out, Alpha Phis love and cherish every moment spent together. 

Being Georgia Tech students first, we know how important academic success is to our sisters. We offer many resources through our scholarship program to ensure that every sister is supported in her academic needs. The scholarship committee connects sisters that may be struggling in a class with someone that has already taken the class before and books daily study rooms in the CULC for sisters’ convenience; this is especially helpful during finals week when there is no room to study in the library! From our study rooms, major support groups, and sisters helping one another, Alpha Phis provide each other a foundation to succeed in the classroom.  We even have our own mini library full of textbook donations from our sisters. Outside of classroom learning, we host monthly speakers to help sisters with their pre-professional skills including resume and networking workshops. Each week we also make sure to acknowledge sisters’ academic accomplishments in front of the chapter including acceptance into prestigious honor societies, graduate school, or landing their dream internship or co-op.  Alpha Phi provides an environment that encourages and aids sisters to achieve in the classroom and professionally thrive beyond Georgia Tech.
