Chair Holder of the Month

This years Tea for Tatas was nothing less that a HUGE success! Everyone had a great time and learned so much while enjoying their tasty treats and tea. Ingrid planning this event, one of our largest philanthropies, was one of the best choices that we could have made!
She exemplifies the true meaning of a Theta Phi not only her words but actions. She always does all that she can to benefit the chapter. She also steps up all the time and is absolutely selfless.

Tea for Tatas!

Three years ago our Beta Nu chapter started a very important event that touches so many of our sisters and families. "Tea for Tatas" is an annual tea party filled of speakers, vendors, tea, treats, raffles and more! The proceeds for this philanthropy is donated to the Lisa Boccard Breast Cancer fund.

One of the very wonderful things about being a Theta Phi Alpha is that we have a chance to help out any causes that are near and dear to our hearts. A few weeks ago, one of the sisters of Alpha Delta Pi passed away. Emily Sutker was so close to so many of us and was so beautiful, inside and out. We will be donating a portion of our PRESOLD Tea for Tatas tickets to her family in her memory.

Sister of the Month
Mikii Matrullo

Mikii is at almost every event and is always helping out when needed. A chair position states that, "She has been a GREAT assistant". She always has a positive attitude that makes sisters want to be around her and go to even more events.

Mikii was nominated because she has stepped up to the plate as being a newly initiated sister and taking on a position. She has great communication skills and is willing to help out and do anything and everything for Theta Phi Alpha. She is a reliable person and her loyalty proves that she deserves to be our Sister of the month.


Chair Holder of the Month
Gina Morrison

Gina Morrison has stepped up to the plate this semester! She took the very challenging position of Fundraising Chair even as a new sister. She has stayed on top of everything, and has been loyal to our Theta Phi Alpha.Also, she showa loyalty her sisters individually by always being there when someone is in need. For example, going out of her way for ladies who need rides and do not have cars.

She has worked so hard on her events and made sure for it to be perfect. She has made such an effort as a freshman to take charge of such a huge position in the sorority and she deserves to be acknowledged for it. A sister of Theta Phi Alpha states, "she is the most loyal sister ever. She made an effort to talking to me about my problems and came over and gave me ice cream and everything. She’s the best!"

Congratulations to our new Theta Phi Cutie Pie, Travis Madrid of Alpha Tau Omega!

It was a fantastic week full of philanthropy, friendly competitions, and Greek bonding. Phylicia Dashoff and her committee did a fantastic job putting together this successful week of events resulting in a donation of $2,511.71 to the American Heart Association!

TPA 101

This past Saturday we enjoyed an entire day of sisterly bonding and learning more about what it means to be a Theta Phi Alpha. TPA 101 is a fun filled day of learning about ritual and leadership. We took the time to really see why each of us decided to join Theta Phi Alpha. We all agree that this sorority has only added so much to our college experience. Each day we live our lives by a ritual that tracks back to 1912. We live this with a beautiful, inside and out, group of women who have a great time working together and having a GREAT time together. One of our Beta Nu Chapter Sisters states,"To be a Theta Phi Alpha means so much more than just being in a club, I am a part of something bigger than myself; something that makes me a better sister, student and person every day."

Spring Recruitment

We are so happy to announce our upcoming Spring Recruitment! Get ready for a week of fun with Theta Phi Alpha starting on February 7th. This is not something that happens every year so forget the stress of formal recruitment and take this opportunity to check out what Theta Phi Alpha has to offer.

For more information please contact Catherine Maglietta at betanurecruitmentchair@gmail.com.
