Dear Sisters, Friends, and Visitors,

     Welcome to the Kappa Chapter of Theta Phi Alpha at the University of Pittsburgh! My name is Sophia Hoover, and I am incredibly honored to serve as President of this inspiring chapter of women who exemplify strength, sisterhood, and service.

     Theta Phi Alpha is more than a sorority—it’s a lifelong bond built on shared values, support, and empowerment. Nationally founded in 1912, our sisterhood is rooted in the ideals of justice, wisdom, loyalty, faith, truth, and honor. Here at the University of Pittsburgh, the Kappa Chapter has proudly upheld these values since its founding in 1926.

Our chapter is deeply committed to fostering a welcoming and inclusive space where every member can thrive both personally and academically.  The phrase “Ever Loyal, Ever Lasting” reflects our commitment to our sisterhood and community. We are involved in a variety of philanthropic efforts, including supporting our national philanthropy, The House That Theta Phi Alpha Built, which aids the homeless. Within our Pittsburgh community, we fundraise and donate to The Children’s Miracle Network, the Women’s Center & Shelter of greater Pittsburgh, the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank, and participate annually in the local Adopt a Family drive around the holidays!

Throughout the year, our sisters participate in campus-wide initiatives, build lasting connections with other Greek organizations, and create meaningful memories through sisterhood events, leadership workshops, and academic support programs. Whether it’s through our annual philanthropy events, bonding over late-night study sessions, or cheering each other on at campus events, our chapter thrives because of the genuine love and respect we have for one another. Many of our members are involved in Pitt Pathfinders, STEP @ Pitt, Camp Kesem, Pitt Dance Marathon, Gamma Sigma Sigma National Service Sorority, and many other organizations.

Leading this chapter is one of the most rewarding experiences of my college journey. The women of Theta Phi Alpha have shown me what it means to lead with compassion, to uplift others, and to grow into the best version of myself. I am constantly inspired by the passion, drive, and kindness of our sisters.

     Thank you for taking the time to learn more about our chapter! Whether you are a potential new member, alumna, or supporter, we are grateful for your interest in Theta Phi Alpha. I encourage you to explore more about who we are and the impact we strive to make here at Pitt and beyond.
