The mission of Phi Alpha is to recognize and promote scholastic achievement among social work students and faculty at USF, to promote fellowship among students of social work, and to further the goals and values of the social work profession in our community and nationally. The USF Delta Sigma Chapter of Phi Alpha was founded in the Fall of 1994.
Eligible students receive a letter of invitation to join the chapter.
Letters of invitation are placed in student mailboxes each October and February and flyers are posted to alert students to check the mailboxes if they believe they are eligible. Any students who believe they meet eligibility requirements, but do not receive an invitation to join the chapter should check with the School of Social Work's office manager. Induction ceremonies are held twice a year, once in the fall semester and again in the spring semester. Achieved sophomore status. Completed nine semester hours of required social work courses.
