Santa Clara Alpha Phi

What Paige Venezia misses about Santa Clara and Aphi:
“What I miss most about Aphi this summer is constantly being surrounded by such amazing girls. Coming into Santa Clara I was nervous about finding a place where I truly felt at home and people I could completely be myself around. I never grew up with sisters, so I always wondered what that kind of bond would be like. Aphi has given me so many sisters who I am lucky enough to call my best friends and has given me such a true sense of belonging at Santa Clara. Being away this summer has made me realize how special it is to have such a supportive, fun, and genuine group of girls in my life. Im so thankful for all the friendships and memories Aphi has given me and can’t wait to be back with everyone this year❤️❤️” -Paige ♥️

Here is what Charlotte shared about her experience so far:

“This summer I have been working on my label Elaine Collective. Inspired by my grandmother Elaine, the collective is a curation of vintage and handmade clothing. I design, curate and direct thematic collections and have shoots to bring them to life. I just had an installation in NYC this past week to show my new capsule collection!!”

Alpha Phi’s Recruitment Style Guide! ✨💌

Sisterhood: Day 1 is the longest, but most casual day. We recommend wearing a short sundress or skirt set of any variation! Also, make sure you are in comfortable shoes as you will do plenty of walking from house to house.

Philanthropy: Day 2 is a little more formal, but we would still recommend a shorter dress in similar style to Day 1! Feel free to dress up a bit more, whatever that means to you, as you will be visiting fewer houses this day.

Preference: Day 3 will be the final and most formal day. We recommend wearing your nicest mini or maxi dress, whichever you prefer! You are also welcome to wear heels this day, as it will be much less walking around and more formal!

Having all your essentials in your rush bag is super important! These days will be hot and long, so make sure to bring water, snacks, and whatever you think you may need!

Being yourself is the most important aspect of this entire process! We are so excited to meet you all so soon. Sign up for recruitment using the link in our bio! ♥️

What Lily Barker misses most about Aphi & Santa Clara:
“What I miss most about Alpha Phi are my sisters ❤️ Coming to college from across the country was a huge change, but the women in Alpha Phi made Santa Clara feel like home from day one. I miss always having someone to grab coffee with, study alongside, laugh with, or lean on after a long day. The friendships I’ve made have become such a meaningful part of my college experience, and this summer has reminded me just how grateful I am for the memories, opportunities, and sisters that Alpha Phi has brought into my life. Counting down the days until we’re all back together. 🫶” -Lily ♥️
