Alpha Phi in D.C.

APhi in D.C.

Sisters of the Iota Iota chapter have very unique opportunities to work, intern and live in the nation's capital! Everyone takes advantage of these possibilities and engage their sisters as well. Many internships have been passed through an Alpha Phi and there are always alumnae more than happy to help as graduation nears! Some of these experiences include internships at places such as National Geographic, on Capitol Hill, the Smithsonian Museums, DC Modern Luxury Magazine, the Republican National Committee, the Department of Justice, the Peace Corps and the American Enterprise Institute!

Also check out our Phis Over Seas page to see pictures of our sisters studying abroad this semester!
