A Letter From Our Chapter President:
“Multa Corda, Una Causa — Many Hearts, One Purpose.” We are a group of strong, driven, and diverse women, each with our own goals and passions, but all connected by something deeper: a genuine love for this sisterhood and the people in it.
My name is Lia Ghirardi, and I am so honored to serve as the 2026 Alpha Lambda Chapter President at the University of Arizona. I’m a Junior from Tucson, majoring in Communication with minors in Sociology and American Sign Language. I am someone who has always been passionate about leadership, connection, and creating meaningful experiences for others.
Coming into college, I knew I wanted to get involved and find a place where I could grow, but I didn’t fully realize how much one organization could shape me. Finding AEPhi gave me exactly that. It gave me a space where I felt comfortable being myself, where I was supported, and where I was constantly encouraged to step outside of my comfort zone.
AEPhi has given me more than I could have ever asked for. It’s given me lifelong friendships, a support system that pushes me to be better every day, and a sense of purpose within something bigger than myself. The confidence, leadership skills, and relationships I’ve built here are things I will carry with me long after graduation.
What makes this chapter so special to me is how real everything feels. The friendships are genuine, the support is constant, and the memories we create (both big and small) are what make this experience so meaningful. I am so proud of the community we have built and the women who make it what it is.
It is truly an honor to serve as President and to give back to a chapter that has given me so much. I’m excited to continue growing this sisterhood, strengthening our connections, and creating an environment where every member feels valued and at home.
LML,
Lia Ghirardi
