The objectives of our Fraternity are the promotion of growth in character, unity of feeling, sisterly affection, and social communion among all our members. In all we do, we try to obey God's principles of justice and right. We have banded ourselves together to improve our minds and hearts and seek to aid each other through a constant watchcare always given in love. We believe ourselves to be sincere searchers for truth.

Our first chapter, which was the Alpha Chapter, was located at Syracuse University. This chapter was founded in 1872. Our ten founders all had very diverse backgrounds, and strong personalities, which make Alpha Phi what it is today. The first chapter house was purchased in June of 1886 for the Alpha Chapter at Syracuse University.

Alpha Phi offers scholarships to its active members who show interest in them. The scholarships are funded through our philanthropy, The Alpha Phi Foundation.

The Delta Eta Chapter has been active on the Adrian College campus and within the city. We have spent a lot of time with the seniors at Lynwood Manor, which is located in Adrian. We have also been active with the annual Party Sober Night, Student Government Association, varsity athletics, intramural athletics, Mortar Board, Order of Omega, and Residence Life.

We seek the highest ideal of womanhood, and we try to gain this ideal by cultivating not only the power and passion for seeking intellectual development, but also the spirit of love and charity. We who are thus united are under a solemn pledge to lend a helping hand to one another.
