We are a recognized Chapter at SUNY Plattsburgh of the National Organization Theta Phi Alpha. SUNY Plattsburgh's Delta Alpha Chapter was installed by 46 dedicated women in May, 2013. We are focused on six core values:
Justice
Wisdom
Loyalty
Faith
Truth
Honor
Our mission is to create close comradeship, to advance educational, social and philanthropic interests and leadership training; to encourag
e spiritual development and adherence to the highest moral standards; and to promote lifelong bonds of friendship. Our organization provides sisterhood, life long friendships, service, opportunities and connections, scholarship, and much much more! We are a dedicated group of women who hold various positions throughout the campus community in organizations such as: Autism Speaks, Hillel, Student Association, Rugby and various honor societies as well as the honors student association. We strive to reach goals of community service and philanthropy because as much as we want to succeed at our academics we enjoy giving back as well. We fundraise for our national philanthropies as well as give back locally to those who otherwise do not have food and shelter. Our Official Colors: Silver, Gold and Blue
Our Official Jewels: The Sapphire and the Pearl
Our Symbol: The Compass
Our Mascot: The Penguin
Our Flower: The White Rose
Motto: "Ever Loyal, Ever Lasting"
Lastly, we have two main philanthropies:
Glenmary Home Missioners: who provide help in poor areas of America. They hand out food, clothing and provide medical care to those who are in need. Under Glenmary Home Missioners a two week summer camp is provided called Camp Friendship. Theta Phi Alpha helps provide the children of Camp Friendship a full second week of camp through its fundraising efforts throughout the nation. These children are poor and recommended by either social workers or teachers to attend the camp. Without our help they would otherwise not have the chance to go. For many of them, this is their first real chance to just have fun and be kids! The House that Theta Phi Alpha Built; this philanthropy was founded in 1993 and the goal of The House that Theta Phi Alpha Built is to help the homeless in anyway possible, it seeks to help homes, shelters and revitalization projects. This gives us the chance to help our community along with people all over the country.
