National Philanthropy
Alpha Phi's philanthropy is the Alpha Phi Foundation which supports Cardiac Care for women and leadership and scholarship initiatives within the fraternity itself. Over the last 2 years, our fraternity has raised over $10 million for the foundation, and last year our chapter raised over $7,000. Alpha Phi Foundation empowers women to be generous givers. We raise and award funds for programs that advance leadership development, encourage academic excellence, improve women’s heart health, support sisters in need and educate about the value of philanthropy. Heart disease is the number 1 killer of women in the US, so we believe it is important to take be healthy and take care of your heart, as well as being knowledgeable about the signs and causes of heart disease.

Chapter Philanthropy
Red Dress Gala
Theta Phi hosted its first annual Red Dress Gala in fall 2010. The third annual Red Dress Gala will be held on October 6, 2012! RDG is a silent auction event, where attendees can bid on different items that have been donated by the community . The mission of RDG is to raise money for the Alpha Phi foundation, while also raising awareness about heart disease in women. All are invited! Family members, community members, and CNU students alike are able to attend and support the Alpha Phi Foundation.
Cardiac Arrest
Cardiac Arrest is an annual philanthropy event that we hold during the fall semester. We set up a "jail" in the David Student Union atrium and "arrest" familiar faces on campus for bail. The bail that is paid by students, staff, and faculty passing by in the DSU goes to the Alpha Phi Foundation.
King of Hearts
King of Hearts is an annual event held in the spring that again raises money for the Alpha Phi foundation. It is a competition between organizations' men on campus that must raise money and compete in various challenges to win the title of King of Hearts.
Canned Food Dash
Sisters get together at a local supermarket and are challenged with a puzzle to figure out the secret foods. Then they have to dash to be the first to get all of the foods together and win! All food is donated to a local food bank.
