We can’t wait to meet you during recruitment!

The sisters of Alpha Phi welcome you to meet us this year during Recruitment! We are excited to give you a glimpse into what our chapter is all about – scholarship, service, leadership, character development, and a genuine sisterhood. Here at Alpha Phi, you will find your home away from home and a remarkable support system of sisters that will be there through your college journey and beyond.

eNCOURAGEMENT FROM THE Vice President of Membership Recruitment

Dear PNM,

Welcome to an exciting journey that has the potential to shape your college experience in the best way possible! I speak for the entire omicron chapter when I say we cannot wait to be apart of your journey, and welcome you into our home.

Sorority life is about so much more than just letters—it’s about lifelong friendships, personal growth, and a support system that will be there through every high and low. Our sisterhood is on many values but most importantly the love we share for one another. Whether it’s cheering each other on, coming together for a philanthropy event, sisterhood event, or even just sitting together watching a movie - we are committed to building a strong and loving foundation for every sister who joins Alpha phi. .

Just 2 years ago I moved 6 hours away from home leaving everyone I knew behind. I honestly never thought I would find somewhere that could feel like home away from home, but joining Alpha phi made it clear that I could. From the moment I stepped into Alpha Phi I knew I found the place where I could be myself and be surrounded by love. Alpha phi has exceeded every and all expectations I had when it came to being in a sorority and still continues to do so to this day. Somehow in a school as big as Mizzou, Alpha Phi has given me a home full of strong, loving and passionate women that make such a big school feel so much smaller and a lot less scarier. 

My advice to you as you step into this journey, is to be yourself and embrace every moment. We know that recruitment can be overwhelming at times, but keep an open heart and mind, and know that at the end of this journey, you will find the place that feels like home. We can’t wait to meet you, learn more about your story, and share what makes our sisterhood so special. Remember, you are valued and treasured, go into this process with confidence in who you are and you will end up right where you need to be. Most importantly, no matter where you end up you are sure to be blessed with the gift of an amazing sisterhood. 

As the Vice President of recruitment, I stand here with open arms waiting to greet each and every one of you. My excitement just keeps growing and I truly cannot wait to meet you all!

rush quick tips

Be confident and be yourself!

Alpha Phi is looking for unique, genuine members. We want to see your true personality shine! Recruitment is about finding the place to call home. The week is much easier, and you will feel most at home by being your true self.

Make new friends!

College is such an exciting experience and is different from high school. It is so easy to remain close with your friends from high school, but we encourage you to also make friendships during the recruitment process. Most of these women will be joining the Panhellenic community with you as well!

Keep an open mind!

Remember that you are choosing a house for yourself, not anyone else. When going to each house and talking to the members, look for a place where you feel comfortable. The house you choose will be your home away from home for the next four years!

Take advantage of the Panhellenic Counselors!

These women were hand-selected and are a great representation of Mizzou’s Greek community. They will be your greatest support system during recruitment and will make your Formal Recruitment process both memorable and the best!
