ALPHA PHI

Welcome to the Beta Zeta Chapter!

​

Serving as Chapter President of the Beta Zeta Chapter of Alpha Phi at the University of Idaho is truly an honor, and I feel incredibly grateful to represent such an inspiring group of women.

​

As I reflect on my time in the Beta Zeta chapter so far, I am filled with gratitude. The person I was when I first ran home to Alpha Phi, the person I am today, and the person I continue to grow into have all been shaped by this sisterhood. Through Alpha Phi, I have gained not only lifelong sisters but also valuable life skills, confidence, and a deep sense of belonging. I am endlessly thankful to share a home with my closest friends and create meaningful college memories with the people I care about most.

​

Alpha Phi was founded in 1872 by ten courageous women who challenged societal barriers and created an organization rooted in character, innovation, generosity, and sisterhood. Today, I see those same values reflected in each of the women in our chapter. Every day in this home is filled with moments that remind me what sisterhood truly means. Whether it is grabbing coffee at our favorite local spots, celebrating each other’s academic and personal achievements, or driving around Greek Row singing the latest song we all love, the small moments bring us together. The laughter, the encouragement, and the simple ways we say “I love you” to one another are what make this house so special.

​

Each woman in Beta Zeta brings her own light, strength, and perspective, and together we create a community built on support and genuine care for one another. Through both the joyful and challenging moments of college life, Alpha Phi becomes the invisible thread that connects us. Being part of Beta Zeta has allowed me to truly understand the meaning of our motto, “Union Hand in Hand.”

 

The Alpha Phi chapter and the Greek community here in Moscow have become a true home away from home. In just a short time, I have found lifelong friendships, maintained strong academic goals including earning a place on the Dean’s List each semester, and become involved in organizations and leadership opportunities across campus. I know none of this would have been possible without the encouragement, support, and sisterhood of the women in Beta Zeta.

​

I am incredibly grateful for my sisters and for the opportunity to help lead this chapter alongside them. It is a responsibility I hold close to my heart. I look forward to a year filled with growth, generosity, meaningful connections, and unforgettable memories.

My absolute best,
Sofia Hays
