A day in the life of a Theta Phi Alpha: After talking to a few of my sisters, we came to the conclusion that our days as Theta Phi Alphas are the almost the same as they were before we were Theta Phi Alphas, but now we get to share our time with each other, learn from one another, and work together to better the sorority. Those things make my days so much more meaningful.
Why I’m proud of my letters: I know when I wear my letters that I am representing not only all of my sisters, but also the values of Theta Phi Alpha. When I say our creed, which explains our symbols’ meanings, I remember why I am proud to be a Theta Phi. I think girls in all sororities should be proud to show their letters because of the values behind them and the sisterhood they represent.
