Washburn University Alpha Phi

“We had as our aim the mutual improvement of each other, ever trying to do our best in college work, always keeping a high ideal before us, never under any circumstances were we to speak disparagingly of a sister, we were to be ever loyal to one another, in joys or sorrows, success or failure, and ever extend a helping hand to our sisters who needed our aid; truly we planned to be a 'union hand in hand'." – Clara Burdette Bradley, Alpha Phi Founder, on October 11, 1912 at the Alpha Chapter’s 40th Reunion
