Red Dress Gala is Alpha Phi's national philanthropy where family, alumnae and friends are invited to an evening filled with food, drinks, and dancing to raise money and awareness for women's heart health. All the proceeds go to the National Alpha Phi Foundation for Women's Heart Health. The Alpha Phi Foundation works to support women's heart health and combat heart disease- the #1 killer of women in North America. Alpha Phi is the only sorority at BGSU with its own foundation.
RED DRESS GALA
Our Alpha Phi chapter hosts several events throughout the year to raise awareness for women's heart health through The Alpha Phi Foundation.
KING OF HEARTS
King of Hearts is our annual philanthropy event that involves our favorite men on campus competing against each other in different events for the title of “Alpha Phi’s King of Hearts.” Some of these events include penny wars, dress like a phi, Alpha Phi trivia, BGSU trivia, and a talent competition.
I went Alpha PHI because of the amazing women. Everyone in this chapter has an amazing heart and it makes me want to be a better me everyday. Alpha PHI has given me a home and a family that I will forver be thankful for.
I went Alpha PHI because of their amazing philanthropy. I knew this group of women could do so many amazing things for women's cardiac care. While our sisterhood is strong, so is our focus on service and passion for lifting up and helping other women. Alpha Phi stole my heart and helps so many others.
