HOW TO DONATE

Rita Cheng, CPP

For almost 23 years, I've had the honor and privilege of witnessing this growth and seeing the tremendous impact Alpha Phi Gamma has had in the lives of all the women who have become part of this Sisterhood, including my own. The day I became part of Alpha Phi Gamma changed my life forever. It was because of Alpha Phi Gamma I learned of my own strengths as a women. It was because of Alpha Phi Gamma I found a voice that would come to speak up for myself and others.

​

And if not for Alpha Phi Gamma, I would have continued on my road to die an old maid having given up on the idea of love and marriage at the age of 18. Instead, that first month of becoming part of Alpha Phi Gamma brought me the moment I met my boyfriend Eric Tran at my first event. Now, almost 23 years later, we are married and have 3 amazing children together.

​

This Sisterhood will forever be part of our lives because it is part of our history ... mine as an individual and ours as a family. I am so grateful for all the friendships I've been given and will continue to have because when we say this is a Lifelong Sisterhood, we mean it. I will be forever grateful for the bonds we have built, for the many coming in the future and the lessons you have all continued to teach me the last 23 years.

Now, as we expand our Founding Sisters’ visions in promoting Scholarship and Academic Excellence, Personal Development and Leadership by launching The Alpha Phi Gamma Foundation’s first fundraising campaign, #APhiG25andMe for which I was happy to participate.
