The University of Mississippi marked Alpha Phi’s fifth Southeastern Conference campus. The Iota Omega chapter of Alpha Phi was installed at the University of Mississippi on April 3, 2016. Alpha Phi participated in the first round of formal recruitment in September 2015 and hosted their own recruitment events later in October. The installation ceremony was held on April 3, 2016 at the Gertrude Castellow Ford Center for the Performing Arts in Oxford, Mississippi. Past International President and Extension Team Lead Linda Long Boland (Gamma Kappa-CSU Long Beach) served as toastmistress. International President Deana Koonsman Gage (Gamma Iota-Texas Tech), presented the charter to the chapter. The chapter also was able to celebrate the groundbreaking of their beautiful home at 615 Rebel Drive during installation weekend.
• 615 Rebel Drive, Oxford, Mississippi
• The chapter facility can house 53 members.
• The first floor of the house features a massive dining area with rows of tables, a living room area with couches and a fireplace, and a special spot for hosting important guests – the 1872 Room, dedicated to the year Alpha Phi was founded. In addition to a beautiful new home to share new memories, the chapter also has an incredible chef on board. One of the most unique aspects of this incredible sorority house is the artwork. Each piece of artwork in the house features symbols that represent Alpha Phi, like the ivy leaf and lily of the valley. The second and third floors of the new sorority house contain dorm-room style bedrooms.
