What does the date September 18 mean to you?⁠
⁠
On this day in 1872, the Original Ten came together to found Alpha Phi at Syracuse University! It wasn't until Convention 1904 that our sisters selected October 10 to observe Founders Day to accommodate the university semester, a practice we hold dear to this day. ♥️⁠

Did you know the Forget Me Not Fund originated as a War Emergency Fund? Initially set up to aid sisters due to the exigencies of World War II, @alphaphiintl sought to continue to support members in need of assistance with the fund's balance. Today, Alpha Phi Foundation continues this legacy by uplifting our sisters when they need it most. 💙 ⁠
