FROM OUR PRESIDENT

My name is Sydney Skemp, and I have the honor and pleasure of serving as chapter President of Gamma Omicron Alpha Phi. 

Throughout my three years in Alpha Phi, this organization and the members inside have given me the tools to grow into the best version of myself. This year, alongside our outstanding Executive Council, I look forward to leading our members to gain from Alpha Phi what I have over the years: love, support, growth, new opportunities, and lifelong friendships. 

As you look around our website, I hope you can feel what it means to be an Alpha Phi. Our chapter is full of inspiring, smart, kind, and fun people with diverse backgrounds and interests. We pride ourselves on our member's involvement in campus organizations and in our community. There is a certain uniqueness brought by each member of our chapter that makes Alpha Phi so special. I love that we are able to simultaneously celebrate our differences and always come back to celebrate our common love – the sisterhood that brings us together. 

The Gamma Omicron chapter strives to promote successful leaders for the future. Following our values of character, innovation, generosity, and sisterhood, we strive to make notable contributions to our local, campus, and Panhellenic communities, as well as to our philanthropy, the Alpha Phi Foundation.

I was hesitant to join a sorority, but now, I can't imagine my life without it. Alpha Phi has opened so many doors for me, in college and beyond. Alpha Phi surrounded me with my best friends, my greatest motivators, and empowered women who wish to make a difference in the world. I will forever be thankful for the opportunities and experiences Alpha Phi has given me and I wish everyone that same experience both at Drake and in the FSL community. 

Thank you for stopping by to check out all of the amazing things the Gamma Omicron chapter of Alpha Phi at Drake University has to offer. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us if you have any questions or comments!

Best, 

Sydney Skemp
