Happy Founders' Day, Theta Phi Alpha!
 

Theta Phi Alpha was founded at the University of Michigan on August 30, 1912. Its ten founders are Amelia McSweeney, Mildred M. Connely, May C. Ryan, Selma Gilday, Camilla Ryan Sutherland, Helen Ryan Quinlan, Katrina Caughey Ward, Dorothy Caughey Phalan, Otilia Leuchtweis O’Hara, and Eva Stroh Bauer. It was founded as a sorority for Catholic women when Catholics were not always welcomed in other groups. Today it is open to women of all faiths.

Theta Phi Alpha celebrates Founders' Day on April 30, the Feast Day of Saint Catherine of Siena (or it was when Founders' Day was agreed upon. The Catholic church changed St. Catherine's Feast Day to April 29) For more info visit

Happy 101st Birthday, Ladies!

Happy Founders Day.

Happy Founders Day, Ladies!

Happy Founders' Day! Hard to believe that in just the four short years since my initiation, we have increased our number of chapters by 25% and total initiates by 50%! With our recent successes on big greek campuses and plans to purchase new headquarters, I see BIG changes on our horizon! :D

Happy Founders' Day, and congratulations on your continuing growth and success!
