Joining Alpha Phi at the University of Utah offers opportunities for personal, academic, and professional growth while creating lifelong friendships and memories. Some of the many benefits include:
Friendship and Lifelong Connections
Alpha Phi provides a built-in community of supportive, driven women who encourage one another throughout college and beyond. Members develop lifelong friendships through chapter events, sisterhood activities, philanthropy, and shared experiences.
The Salt Lake Alumnae Community is highly involved with both the University of Utah and Southern Utah University chapters. In recognition of its dedication to supporting collegiate members, the Salt Lake Alumnae Community received an Alpha Phi International award for being one of the organization's most engaged alumnae communities. This strong alumnae network gives members valuable mentorship, networking opportunities, and lifelong support after graduation.
Academic Excellence and Scholarship Opportunities
Alpha Phi values academic achievement and provides numerous resources to help members succeed in the classroom. Members have access to study groups, tutoring opportunities, academic mentoring, and scholarships through the Alpha Phi Foundation.

Many Alpha Phi members from chapters across North America have received scholarships to pursue graduate and professional education, including medical programs at the University of Utah.
These opportunities help members achieve their academic goals while reducing financial barriers.
