The Founder’s Collection

Theta Phi Alpha is a national women’s social fraternity and is a member of the National Panhellenic Conference. The mission of Theta Phi Alpha encompasses far more than providing a social network for college women. For more than 100 years, the sisters of Theta Phi Alpha have maintained a history rich in educational excellence, professional achievement, and a deep commitment to social service.

Theta Phi Alpha was founded at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor by ten women in August of 1912. This group of young women sought what all new students seek when they enroll on a college campus, a feeling of being home. By joining together, they provided support and friendship to one another to meet the challenges that they faced and to create an organization that would enable future generations to share that bond.

Theta Phi Alpha aims to create an experience for members to live their individual truths, grow their self-awareness, and cultivate lifelong friendships. Theta Phi Alpha’s founders are eight university alumnae and two undergraduates. In their honor, we are proud to introduce The Founders Collection, premium Napa Valley wines created to celebrate the remarkable women who shaped Theta Phi Alpha and the enduring sisterhood they inspired.
