Alpha Epsilon Phi
About Us
National History
Alpha Epsilon Phi Sorority was founded by seven Jewish women, Helen Phillips, Ida Beck, Rose Gerstein, Augustina "Tina" Hess, Lee Reiss, Rose Salmowitz and Stella Strauss, at Barnard College in New York City on October 24, 1909. 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."It was her [Helen Phillips'] idea and her persistence more than anything else that brought Alpha Epsilon Phi into existence," one founder wrote. "I sometimes think that some of those ties were more necessary to Helen than to the others in this group because Helen had no mother and no sisters or brothers, and to her a group of adopted sisters was more of a need and had more significance."

Chapter History
​Miami's Alpha Kappa Chapter is proud to say that Alpha Epsilon Phi still holds these values paramount to all others. They are the basis of the pride that one takes in referring to fellow members of the organization as "sisters," indicating to family, friends, and strangers alike the pride that we take in being "Phis."
We at ΑΕΦ are promoting the highest type of womanhood with involvement in the community through internships, clubs, jobs, research, and volunteer work. ΑΕΦ provides its members with endless resources, and each woman witnesses her personal growth and potential during her years here at Miami.
