A Day in the Life of a Phi:
Walking into AEPhi on a typical day you’ll see girls sitting in the kitchen drinking coffee and catching up on their days. There are also always girls hanging out and working on homework in the informal and formal living rooms. Upstairs, there are always girls working in the study and girls hanging out in each other’s rooms.
 
“I love hanging out at AEPhi. Last year before I lived in, I would come hang out at the Phi everyday. I love the atmosphere and carefree environment of it. If I ever want to just hang out and relax downstairs, I know there will always be people downstairs looking to do the same thing.” Says Sophomore, Lexi Werner.
