Alpha Phi International Fraternity and RealResponse Announce Collaboration

12/02/24

RealResponse is thrilled to announce its partnership with Alpha Phi International Fraternity, marking the organization’s first sorority collaboration. With over 150 years of history, Alpha Phi boasts a membership of more than 280,000 and operates 174 collegiate chapters across the U.S. and Canada. The sorority is dedicated to fostering academic achievement, personal growth, and memorable experiences for its members.

As part of its ongoing commitment to support mental health and wellbeing, Alpha Phi has taken proactive measures by implementing RealResponse’s secure and anonymous texting service for reporting concerning incidents and/or behaviors. This service allows members to easily communicate concerns via text messaging or voice calls, ensuring their anonymity throughout the process. Alpha Phi will also use this platform to report emergencies and crises.

“We want to see each member of our Fraternity flourish and achieve their highest potential while ensuring every step of that progression is supported,” stated Cayce Blackley, Director of Health, Wellness & Accountability at Alpha Phi. “That is why we embraced RealResponse as a solution for our members to use at any given moment under any difficult circumstance.”

With its two-way communication system, RealResponse enables administrators to follow up and gather additional details about incidents while maintaining the privacy of the individual who reported the incident.

“Our goal is to offer a safe space for difficult and sensitive conversations,” RealResponse’s Founder and CEO, David Chadwick, emphasized. “The more options students have for engaging appropriate personnel to help address areas of concern, the more they will feel supported and heard.”

This partnership underscores Alpha Phi’s and RealResponse’s dedication to creating accessible, safe communication channels for communities focused on student well-being.
