Home Away from Home

Alpha Phis prioritize the time they spend together, and often the places associated with so many of our memories are our chapter houses and Alpha Phi spaces. For some, these spaces may be rented chapter meeting spaces, in-dorm suites or chapter houses. No matter the space, together we experience a home away from home within Alpha Phi. Thanks to 1872 Properties of Alpha Phi, the House Corporation Boards and Chapter Property Committees for each chapter, 138 of our 175 collegiate chapters currently have a space to call their own. From the first sorority house in North America, built by our Alpha chapter, to our most recent house, at Kappa Alpha-UNC Chapel HIll and a beautiful renovation/rebuild at the OmicronMissouri, Alpha Phis always have a home away from home in one another.

Alpha Phi has 113 chapters with bed spaces across university dormitory Alpha Phi floors, our chapter houses and more. Our biggest chapter house at Beta MuAlabama chapter includes 35,137 square feet of living space, and our smallest chapter house is Epsilon Upsilon-CSU Northridge with 1,666 square feet of living space.

It takes over 300 volunteers to help ensure our chapter houses and facilities remain safe, competitive and welcoming for members year after year. In addition, our house directors, formerly known as “house moms,” have been a beloved presence in these living spaces. Their role has changed over the years, from enforcing curfew or helping cook meals to what has become more of a property manager for the facility. Currently, Alpha Phi has 56 house directors.
