Biographical / Historical
Alpha Phi International Women's Fraternity is a sorority originally founded at Syracuse University, in Syracuse, New York in 1872. The Whitman College Beta Phi Chapter of Alpha Phi was originally established in 1942 when a group of girls living together decided to found a new sorority. Whitman College officially recognized this group in 1948. The original chapter shut down in 1979, due to a general decline in interest in Greek Life on Campus. Local alumni remained supportive of the sorority, leading to its reestablishment in 2012.
