These women were vigilantly concerned about their sisters, people they cared about a great deal. Today, many of our Alpha Phi chapter members are providing that same caring for each other. Others are putting themselves and their sisters at grave risk. That is why Watchcare is such an important concept which all Alpha Phis must understand and practice. The first component is the preservation of human dignity.
Dignity means being worthy and honorable.
Dignity is pride and self-respect. Dignity is preserving integrity and self-esteem. Dignity is caring. The second component is risk management. When we joined Alpha Phi, we pledged to keep ourselves and our sisters from harm.
