Joining Alpha Phi has been one of the most meaningful parts of my college experience. Going through recruitment was always something I knew I wanted to do, but I didn’t fully understand how much it would impact me until I experienced it myself. It shaped not only where I found my place, but also who I’ve become since then.

​

Recruitment can bring a mix of emotions. There will be moments that are exciting, moments that challenge you, and moments that may feel uncertain—and all of that is a normal part of the experience. Trust the process and trust yourself, because it has a way of leading you exactly where you are meant to be. In the end, you will find yourself surrounded by people who value you, support you, and are excited to welcome you for exactly who you are.

For me, that’s what Alpha Phi became. It’s where I found people who support me, push me to grow, and give me the confidence to step into opportunities I never would have imagined—like serving as Vice President of Membership Recruitment. This role has challenged me in the best way, and it has been incredibly rewarding to help shape the experience for all of you.

My biggest piece of advice is to stay true to yourself throughout the process. Don’t overthink it or try to be who you think others want—just show up as you. Recruitment goes by quickly, but the relationships you build during it can stay with you far beyond these few days.

I am so excited to meet all of you and see where this experience takes you.

All love,
