"Alpha Phi is the main reason I was happy at MIT. I loved living in the house and being surrounded by girls who are not only extremely driven and intelligent but also fun, dynamic, and kind. My best memories from MIT are with my sisters, who I know will remain my best friends throught the rest of my life."

Wendy graduated in 2009 with double-majors in Economics and Management Science. She is currently working in the Technology M&A Group at Blackstone and will be working for a private equity firm named TPG Growth starting summer 2011.

"I joined Alpha Phi to be part of a community that would support me and that I could contribute to. I learned how to help run an organization, solve conflicts, and lead meetings while being on Aphi's Executive Board. After helping run a sorority, I can easily run a physics experiment! Aphi also showed me the value of friendship and balancing work with fun and social time. My sisters still inspire me and help me in life - I even keep our composite picture over my desk at work"

Nicole graduated in 2007 with a major in Physics. She is currently completing her PhD at Stanford University in Physics.

"I joined Aphi in hopes of finding some good friends. I could never have anticipated the incredible people I would meet and what kind of lasting friendships I would make. Each sister was so unique and had such gifts, whether it was sports, dance, public service, etc... I was truly inspired to be a better person because of all the amazing people that Aphi gave me the opportunity to be close to and call my sister. Sounds cheesy but its true!"

Randee graduated in 2006 with a major in Biology. She is completing medical school and applying to ophthalmology residency this fall.

"Alpha Phi has made me who I am today. I still in very close contact with a ton of sisters and we share incredible life journeys together. All MIT Alpha Phi's are making huge contributions to the world today. We are an incredible group of women: smart, strong, leaders and do-ers! My experience of being a leader in Alpha Phi, gave me the confidence and leadership skills that I use day to day I would not change a single thing about my college career and being an A-phi was the highlight."

Alexis graduated in 1996 with a major in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.

"I was excited about A Phi beginning with my "pre-frosh" visit during my senior year of high school! The A Phi girls that I met were the most social, fun, put-together and impressive young ladies that I met on campus. When I arrived at MIT in the fall and got to know more of the sisters I knew that I wanted be a part of this supportive, impressive and fun group. Through Alpha Phi I was able to live with wonderful friends in our fantastic house in a great neighborhood - what an incredible opportunity for a young college student. (Also, my parents were NOT impressed by MIT's overcrowded dorms at the time - they were thrilled about my moving to the house.) Alpha Phi was a perfect support system for the rigors of the MIT environment and I made dear friends that I will keep for a lifetime."

Annmarie graduated in 1996 with a major in Chemical Engineering. She has worked at Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley.

"I prefroshed with an APhi and was blown away by how cool, athletic, and nice she was, not at all the geeky image I had of MIT. I wanted the network of women and friends at MIT. My best friends now are still from APhi."

Gloria graduated in 1994 with a major in Mechanical Engineering. She has started her own small medical devices company and was featured in Boston's "40 under 40" and MIT Technology Review's "World's Top Innovators under 35".

"I met my best friend 20 years ago during recruitment. We have remained the closest of friends despite living in different states. Only having brothers, she is truly the sister that I never had and I am so thankful to have her in my life."

Monica graduated in 1993 with a major in Chemical Engineering. She got her MBA at Harvard Business School.
