Our Story
Alpha Epsilon Phi Sorority was founded on October 24, 1909 by seven Jewish women at Barnard College in New York City. Their goal was to foster lifelong friendship and sisterhood, academics, social involvement and community service while providing a home away from home for their members. The dream that was born in a dorm room at Barnard College in 1909 continues to succeed, prosper and thrive on over 50 college and university campuses nationwide.
AEPhi is proud to have a number of successful and famous women among its sisters. Some of the more famous AEPhi sisters include Erica Hill, Anchor of CNN (Alpha Chi, Boston University), Judith Resnik, the Second female astronaut (Alpha Nu, Carnegie Mellon University), Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Supreme Court Justice (Kappa, Cornell University) and our own Annette Greenfield Strauss who was the first female mayor of Dallas, Texas (Omega, University of Texas).
