Dear Theta Phi Alphas,
Happy Founding Day! On August 30, 1912, our Founders brought our beloved Theta Phi Alpha to life. I wonder if they thought Theta Phi Alpha would still be celebrating this day 112 years later. I am so thankful to Amelia, May, Otilia, Helen, Katrina, Camilla, Eva, Dorothy, Selma, and Mildred for founding Theta Phi Alpha and for setting our course through Justice, Friendship, and Truth.
Please join me in honoring our Founders on August 30 in one of the following ways.
- Wear your Theta Phi Alpha badge.
- Reach out to a sister you haven't spoken to and reminisce about your shared Theta Phi Alpha memories.
- Post on social media on August 30 about Theta Phi Alpha's Founding Day, and share Theta Phi Alpha and sorority membership's impact on your life.
- Post a picture of you wearing your badge along with the above information.
- Host a chapter or alumnae event or gathering where Theta Phi Alphas come together and reflect on our history.
- Perform the Founders' Day Ritual.
- Have a moment of silence to reflect on our Founders and their impact on Theta Phi Alpha.
- Donate time, money, or items to an organization that exemplifies our rebranded philanthropy addressing Hunger and Homelessness.
- Contact your Theta Phi Alpha mentor and thank them for all they have done for you.
- Celebrate Theta Phi Alpha's birthday with a birthday party!
- Write letters to our Founders or the Charter Members of your chapter expressing gratitude.
- Make a toast to our Founders and the continued success of the Fraternity.
- Verify your information in Theta Phi Alpha's member portal, my.thetaphialpha.org.
- Donate $10 the Theta Phi Alpha Foundation in honor of our ten Founders. You can make your donation through the member portal, crowd change, or by check mailed to the National Office.
Please enjoy some pictures showing the joy of Theta Phi Alpha!
Yours in the Bonds of Sisterhood,
Kristin Henkenius
National President
