Alpha Phi International Fraternity is a sisterhood of outstanding women supporting one another in lifelong achievement. Founded at Syracuse University in 1872, Alpha Phi was one of the first Greek societies for women and was founding member of the National Panhellenic Conference. The organization is comprised of more than 160 collegiate chapters and more than 130 alumnae chapters throughout the United States and Canada. The Alpha Phi Foundation is the fraternity's philanthropic and educational partner, supporting women's heart health and other charitable and educational projects. Our Eta Omega chapter at Towson University was founded in 1990.
