Alpha Phi
President's Message
Welcome to Alpha Phi at UCSB!
My name is Devon, and I am so excited you’ve landed on our page. I feel beyond lucky to introduce you to the Gamma Beta chapter of Alpha Phi, a chapter I hold near and dear to my heart.
Starting college is such an exciting time, but I totally get how overwhelming it can be. You’re figuring out your place, your people, and what “home” really means. For me, that feeling of home settled in the moment I went through Panhellenic recruitment three years ago. From the very beginning, Alpha Phi welcomed me with open arms, and ever since, I’ve been surrounded by the kind of love, support, and lifelong friendship that makes this chapter so special.
Alpha Phi is so much more than a sorority. It’s a genuine, empowering community of women who lift each other up and consistently encourage one another to grow. I’ve found the girls who inspire me every single day, my future bridesmaids I never expected to meet, and the kind of best friends who will be in my life forever. I’ve met strong, creative, compassionate women who lead by love, for love, and who have made Alpha Phi the heart of my UCSB journey.
As Chapter President, I’m honored to represent this sisterhood! At our core, we’re united by a shared purpose: our commitment to the Alpha Phi Foundation and women’s heart health. Through fun events like our annual 5K and the Red Dress Gala, we work together to raise awareness and funds for this important cause, all while strengthening our bonds with each other and the broader Greek community.
Joining Alpha Phi has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. It’s brought me endless laughter, unforgettable memories, and a sense of belonging I didn’t even know I was missing. The people truly make the place, and at UCSB, I’ve been lucky enough to find the most golden, thoughtful, and genuine girls that I am proud to call sisters.
Whether you're thinking about recruitment or just curious about what makes Alpha Phi so special, I hope this gives you a feel for the fun, supportive community I’ve been lucky to be a part of. Wishing you the best as you start your UCSB journey, hope our paths cross soon!
With lots of love and AOE,
