The Founding of Theta Phi Alpha



In 1912, Bishop Edward D. Kelly formed a small sorority for Catholic women at the University of Michigan, in Ann Arbor. Theta Phi Alpha sisters hold our founding sisters near to our hearts. These women struggled to get Theta Phi Alpha going they must be so proud and happy, wherever they are, to see how we are growing.

These ten amazing women are:

Dorothy Caughey Phalan

Katrina Caughey Ward

Mildred Connely

Selma Gilday

Otilia Leuchtweis O’Hara

Amelia McSweeney

Camilla Ryan Sutherland

Helen Ryan Quinlan

May C. Ryan

Eva Stroh Bauer Everson





The mission of Theta Phi Alpha is

to create close comradeship, to advance educational, social and philanthropic interests and leadership training; to encourage spiritual development and adherence to the highest moral standards; and to promote lifelong bonds of friendship . . .



Creed of Theta Phi Alpha

Justice to each fellow man
Wisdom in each deed and plan
Loyalty to every friend
Faith that sorrow can transcend
Truth to God and truth to self
Honor valued over wealth
This is the creed that in us lies
The creed of loyal Theta Phis.

The white rose for its purity
The sapphire blue for loyalty
The compass for its needle sure
That holds our course firm and secure
The silver for a precious faith
That knows no end not even death
This is the creed that in us lies
The creed of loyal Theta Phis.
