Alpha Phi After Graduation
There are over 1,500 Alpha Phi alumnae in the Greater Washington area. Politics, government, non-profit, finance, law, medicine, and marketing / PR are just some of the many fields in which you can find our alumnae. One of the greatest benefits of being an Alpha Phi is the great networking opportunity it provides. At some point in their college or post-college time, almost every member of the Iota Iota Chapter works for or with another sister or local alum. These opportunities allow sisters to take advantage of all that DC has to offer together. |

| The Alpha Phi Alumnae Network in D.C. is very strong and continues to grow as more and more girls move to the Greater Washington area. Many alumnae are members of the Northern Virginia A-Phi Alumnae Group and recent graduates can attend the D.C. Ivy Connection's monthly happy hours and other functions. In addition, area alumnae and former Iota Iota Chapter members look forward to annual events, like the Red Dress Gala, Recruitment, Family Brunch, and senior / alumnae dinners. Contact our Director of Alumni Relations for more information.
The Iota Iota Chapter also has a dedicated team of alumnae advisers, who work with chapter leadership throughout the year. These advisers dedicate their time, energy and talents to make Alpha Phi the best at GW! Famous Alpha Phis:
