Your Support Matters

See how far your Alumnae Dues & Donations go!

A minimum Alumnae Dues payment of $50 establishes you as an alumna in good standing, allows you eligibility to serve as a National Officer, and subscribes you to our wonderful national magazine, The Compass, as well as other Fraternity communications. Your support and involvement will help us achieve great things for our sisterhood. The generous support of dues-paying sisters keeps Theta Phi Alpha running.
