Welcome to the Epsilon Nu Chapter of Alpha Phi at the University of Delaware! Internationally, Alpha Phi is made up of 173 active chapters with over 250,000 initiated members. Currently, on campus, we are one of thirteen chapters that make up the Panhellenic Community.
Alpha Phis are leaders and honor our values of Sisterhood, Scholarship, Service, Leadership, Loyalty and Character Development. As one of Alpha Phi's core ideals, Sisterhood is one of our strongest characteristics that makes Epsilon Nu so special to us. Our motto, “Union hand in hand”, is something we live by in supporting one another in lifelong achievement.
Returning back to campus this fall to begin my senior year has been so exciting, yet overwhelming with emotions. I feel comforted knowing that I have such a strong support system and can rely on my sisters through the good days and the bad. These are the women who push me to be the best version of myself.
Living in the Alpha Phi house changed my college experience for the better. It is a once in a lifetime opportunity to live with 47 women who share similar values and goals as you. Whether I needed a shoulder to cry on or a laugh after a stressful day, there was always someone there. I am so thankful for the memories and friendships that 158 South College gave me.
My favorite things about Alpha Phi are our sisterhood and our dedication to our community. Through sisterhood week, philanthropy week, Udance fundraising, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion week, and our community service, the women of Alpha Phi have such a strong bond and an even stronger impact on our community. I am deeply grateful to lead a chapter that constantly gives back to the community, raises money for our philanthropy, teaches our members valuable life skills, and provides endless amounts of opportunities to grow as a student and beyond.
If someone told me three years ago that I would be the President of this chapter, I would not have believed them. Alpha Phi helped me grow to become a leader, a better student, friend, and sister. The bonds I share in this chapter go beyond friendship; they are a testament to the love and support we provide each other. I am proud to say I will be leaving this campus having met some of the most inspiring, hardworking, dedicated, and loyal group of women. I will forever be grateful for my time in Alpha Phi and couldn’t imagine my college experience without it.
On behalf of the Alpha Phi and the Epsilon Nu Chapter, thank you for taking the time to learn about who we are and what makes us so unique.

Love,
Julia Kochie
2023 Chapter President
