Dear Sisters, Friends, and Visitors,

Welcome to the Kappa Chapter of Theta Phi Alpha at the University of Pittsburgh! My name is Celia Hess and I am honored to be President and lead the inspiring women of this chapter. As a chapter, we prioritize our sisterhood and the qualities of which we have been based on since 1912.

Since our founding year, Theta Phi Alpha has been centered around our core values: justice, wisdom, loyalty, faith, truth, and honor. We continue to live out these values through our chapter activities and we take the necessary measures to keep them in mind during all things.

Our chapter is involved with many wonderful organizations and volunteer opportunities. In honor of our national philanthropy, we support The House That Theta Phi Built. We also work closely with The Women’s Center & Shelter of Greater Pittsburgh along with the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank. Our chapter also fundraises for the Children’s Miracle Network. On top of these efforts, our members are apart of countless other organizations within the Pitt community. These opportunities continue to humble us and provide a much deeper meaning beyond our sisterhood.

This Chapter has given me such a wonderful and meaningful experience here at the University Of Pittsburgh. The women I have chosen to lead do nothing but make me proud to stand before them. As one chapter, we continue to grow through kindness in order to always uplift each other and make our chapter an inclusive and welcoming environment for all members.

On behalf of myself and my fellow sisters, I’d like to recognize how much we appreciate you. Thank you for taking time to learn more about our chapter and what it means to us. If I can be of any help to you, please don’t hesitate to reach out!
