A Message From Our President

Emma Jewell, PC '22

Chapter President

Hi everyone!

My name is Emma Jewell, and I am the chapter president of the Iota Omega chapter of Alpha Phi at The University of Mississippi! It comes with great honor to have the opportunity to personally introduce you to this extraordinary organization.

I truly wish there was a way to put it into words how much this chapter means to me. Leaving my hometown and everything I've ever known, throughout recruitment, all I wanted was a place to belong and call home. My 18 year old self could've never imagined how perfectly I'd find that at Alpha Phi.

I've always known that college is a time for growth, self-discovery, and a bridge to the real world. Looking back to August 2022, when I received my bid from Alpha Phi, I had no idea that this sorority would help shape me to be the person that is writing to you today. It comes with great pride to say that the Iota Omega chapter is undoubtedly the reason I will step into the real world as a more faithful, confident, and well rounded woman.

Whether it be the strangers who became friends, who then became roommates, or the sophomore that I spoke to during recruitment who became my big sister, or the hundreds of other women who turned Oxford from an unfamiliar place, to a town that feels like home - the women in Alpha Phi have given me more than I could have ever hoped and prayed for.

Alpha Phi International Fraternity was founded in 1872, on 4 ideals: sisterhood, innovation, generosity, and character. I've seen firsthand how these high ideals have lifted me up to be the best version of myself, positively impacted each of my sisters, and have wholeheartedly been the foundation of everything we do. Knowing that I have over 200,000 sisters across the world that value these same ideals that we do here at Iota Omega - is such a constant reminder of the loyalty of this organization.

The amazing women, cherished memories, endless opportunities, and legacy that encapsulates 615 Rebel Drive is what makes Alpha Phi a truly special place. Having a place like Alpha Phi to belong, and feel a part of, has made my experience at The University of Mississippi something I will forever cherish. I am forever indebted to this sisterhood for changing my life in so many ways —I am beyond grateful for the opportunity to share with you a glimpse into this meaningful experience and sisterhood. Thank you for stopping by to learn more about the Iota Omega chapter of Alpha Phi!

With love,

Emma Jewell

Chapter President
