Hello! My name is Anna Williams and I am the chapter president of the Theta Sigma chapter of Alpha Phi at Southern Utah University! This chapter has shaped my college experience in ways I could not have imagined when I first joined as a freshman. The chapter and the sisters I have gained have truly become my best friends, lifelong mentors, and home away from home.

I want to highlight some of the experiences I have had and share with you why joining this sisterhood has shaped me into who I am today. When I first joined Alpha Phi I had just moved 600 miles away from home, and was searching for a community where I could grow and make the most of my college experience. When I went through recruitment I was met with kindness and connections immediately, and had the best time as a new member going on retreats, gaining a big sister, and connecting with the chapter. As a sophomore I had the opportunity to be the Vice President of Membership Recruitment where I learned how to communicate and delegate within a team, attend leadership conferences, and understand how to run an organization. That role was an immersive experience into how to become an effective leader, understand communication styles, and brought me so much closer to Alpha Phi because I got to share my love for it with so many amazing people.

As a junior I was elected into the role of Chapter President, and it has been such an amazing position because I have gained a deeper understanding of each of my sisters and learning more about them and serving them has been truly amazing. Going into my senior year I am so excited to get to be a mentor to my sisters, as so many have been to me. I am looking forward most to recruitment to get to grow our chapter and welcome so many amazing women into our sisterhood and celebrate them as they grow.

Alpha Phi is such a unique and amazing community that lasts far beyond college and I hope that you will share in the joys of sisterhood, innovation, generosity, and character with us! 

With love,
Anna Williams
