- Theta Phi Alpha (ΘΦΑ), commonly known as Theta Phi, is a women's fraternity founded at the University of Michigan – Ann Arbor on August 30, 1912. Theta Phi Alpha is one of 26 national sororities recognized in the National Panhellenic Conference. Today, Theta Phi Alpha has 55 active chapters across the United States. Theta Phi has alumnae clubs and associations in almost every major city. The organization is involved in the philanthropies Glenmary Home Missioners and The House that Theta Phi Alpha Built which help the homeless and underprivileged, specifically in the Appalachian Mountain region, and Camp Friendship, a summer camp in northeast Mississippi for children from disadvantaged and low-income homes. Theta Phi Alpha was born out of the demise of a local Catholic sorority, Omega Upsilon. Father Edward D. Kelly contacted Amelia McSweeney to discuss the possibility of a new organization. Amelia and nine other founding sisters, active collegiates and alumnae of Omega Upsilon, banded together to organize Theta Phi Alpha throughout the summer of 1912. Theta Phi Alpha continued to grow, especially after the merger with another Catholic social women's fraternity, Pi Lambda Sigma, in 1952. Although Theta Phi Alpha began as a sorority for Catholic women, the organization opened its doors to all women in 1968. (en)

- “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,
This is 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" (en)
