Hi! I am so honored to share with you the chapter that holds a special place in my heart. As Chapter President of Alpha Phi at UCSB, I am proud to serve an organization of strong, compassionate, and creative women who choose to lead by love, for love.

Joining Alpha Phi has been one of the most rewarding decisions of my college experience. When I first arrived at UCSB, I was filled with excitement but also uncertainty. As the first woman in my family to attend university, I faced many fears— the fear of failure, the fear of not finding a community, and the fear of feeling unsupported. However, as I navigated Panhellenic recruitment, these fears began to fade, leading me to a place I now proudly call home.

Within Alpha Phi, I found more than just a sorority—I discovered a network of inspiring women who uplift and empower each other every day. I’ve gained the sisters I’ve always wanted (258 of them to be exact), my future bridesmaids I never knew I needed, and finally a support system that continuously encourages me to grow into the best version of myself. Beyond friendships, Alpha Phi has provided me with incomparable opportunities for personal growth, shaping my college journey and life in ways I never imagined.
