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

Hi! My name is Izzy and I am so excited to be serving as AEΦ’s president this year! From movie nights in the Ville house, to tote bag painting at our sisterhood retreat, there is never a dull moment in AEΦ. Some of my favorite memories include 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 ourselves in 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 140 members, AEΦ is a diverse group of intelligent women who I could not be more proud to lead.

AEΦ participates in Panhellenic primary recruitment every fall semester! We love being a part of the Panhellenic community and building relationships with so many extraordinary women! AEΦ values scholarship, our philanthropies, and above all else our sisterhood! We pride ourselves on consistently maintaining an average GPA above the sorority average on campus. We are also the only chapter on campus that has two philanthropies! Both Sharsheret and the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation were started by AEΦ alumna. Every semester we hold a variety of events for sisters to bond and spend time together. This past semester we got to go to a pottery painting workshop and decorate our own mugs! Past sisterhood events also included Build-a-Bear, baseball games, roller skating, and the Big E!
