Alpha Epsilon Phi

Alpha Epsilon Phi Greek letters

Alpha Epsilon Phi was founded in 1909 by seven Jewish women, with the vision of a sorority for exceptional women of all backgrounds, interests, and beliefs to be welcomed and supported with open arms. At the University of Connecticut, we provide a well-rounded sorority experience for our collegiate and alumnae members by striving to uphold the values of our founders, focusing on sisterhood, community service, academics and personal growth. We prize both individuality and togetherness by encouraging each member to discover and develop the talents and abilities that make her unique, while fostering friendships and a sense of family that lasts a lifetime.

Message from the Chapter President

I am so excited to be serving as AEΦ’s president this year! From movie nights in the Ville house, to axe throwing at our sisterhood retreat, there is never a dull moment in AEΦ. Some of my favorite memories are from our philanthropy events like cheering on teams at our annual Phi Hoops basketball tournament or making fried oreos with my sisters for AEPhried Oreos. As AEΦ women, we pride ourselves on exemplifying the core values of our chapter: beauty, strength, and wisdom. We constantly push ourselves to better our academic studies, community involvement, and sisterhood as a whole. Being a member of this organization has shown me the life-changing impact a sisterhood like ours can have. I am endlessly grateful for the friendships I’ve made in AEΦ and look forward to the relationships I will continue to build. With a chapter of over 150 members, AEΦ is a diverse group of intelligent women who I could not be more proud to lead.
