What inspires you to give back? For @gmualphaphi C

What inspires you to give back? For @gmualphaphi Chapter President Shauna Shaghaghi, it's knowing that the smallest act can make a huge impact on those around her.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
"I believe it is so important that, as sisters, we be a part of something bigger than ourselves," shares Shauna.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Influenced by a personal connection to women's heart health, Shauna found an outlet in Alpha Phi to make her own impact, serving as Eta Lambda's Vice President of Community Relations and joining Clara's Circle.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
"I believe Alpha Phi's leadership programming is extremely beneficial to all young women and gives Alpha Phis the ability to develop key skills that help them become future leaders," says Shauna. "As our world develops, women continue to go against the norm and now, more than ever, are working up to leadership roles in our greater society."⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Your gift, no matter the size, helps Alpha Phi Foundation make an impact in the lives of our sisters and in our communities today and tomorrow. Join Shauna in making a difference with a donation today. Link in bio.⁠⠀

"The support of Alpha Phi has enriched my college

"The support of Alpha Phi has enriched my college experience and provided a valuable sense of community which I am proud to take part in," shares Alpha Phi Foundation Scholar Olivia Chan (Omega-Texas).⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Following Oliva's graduation from Texas, the McCombs School of Business student and recipient of the Darcel Atwill Weller Scholarship hopes to break into the world of finance & investment banking, working her way up to the venture capital industry.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
"As I go about my career, I'll forever remember the impact Alpha Phi has had on me. They've taught me about integrity, to give back to my community, and to be a part of something much more." ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Thanks to the generous support of donors like Darcel Atwill Weller (Gamma Iota-Texas Tech), more Alpha Phis can pursue their academic goals and professional dreams. ⁠⠀

What Alpha Phi Foundation program is closest to yo

What Alpha Phi Foundation program is closest to your ❤️? For Educational Leadership Consultant and @idahoalphaphi alumna Hailey Uhlenkott, the answer is Leadership.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
“I am nowhere near the same woman I was my freshman year of college, and a lot of that is due to the support of Alpha Phi Foundation,” shares Hailey.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Aside from serving in a number of chapter roles including Chapter President, Hailey was also a member of Clara’s Circle, Alpha Phi Foundation’s collegiate giving circle, because she believed in our mission and the impact of our programs.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
“My experience and the programs funded through Alpha Phi Foundation gave me the tools to learn and grow to be an effective leader,” she says. “Even today as an alumna, I’m still impacted by the support of the Foundation with its funding of the ELC Program! I am so thankful for the impact of Alpha Phi on my life that I will forever give back in hopes of making that same change in other collegiate women’s lives.”⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Hailey’s Alpha Phi leadership roles pushed her outside her comfort zone, helped her develop new skills, and gave her access to leadership training and programming funded through Alpha Phi Foundation at Leadership Conferences and other events. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Alpha Phi Foundation fulfills its mission by investing in our sisters and impacting our communities. You can join Hailey in advancing women’s lives through the power of your philanthropy with a donation to Alpha Phi Foundation today. Link in bio.⁠⠀

Often called the "funniest woman in politics," wri

Often called the "funniest woman in politics," writer, reporter, and @texasalphaphi alumna Liz Carpenter made history as the first woman executive assistant to a vice president (Lyndon B. Johnson) and first professional newswoman to serve as press secretary to a first lady (Lady Bird Johnson).⁠ 📰⁠
⁠
A passionate advocate for women's rights, Liz went on to co-found the National Women's Political Caucus in 1971, traveling the country to encourage the passage of the Equal Rights Amendment. Held in high regard in her field, Liz received @alphaphiintl's Frances E. Willard Award in 1980 for her outstanding career success.⁠
