A-Phi Apparel for the Chapter and the Red Dress Behind It
The ivy, the bear, and a red dress that stands for something bigger than a party. Alpha Phi chapters raise money for women's heart health, and the merch a chapter orders carries that purpose alongside the letters. We make custom Alpha Phi apparel around your chapter's own design, for the full A-Phi year:
- Recruitment and Bid Day apparel for the new member class
- Red Dress Gala and Alpha Phi Foundation heart-health event pieces
- Big and little reveal sets across the A-Phi family
- Formal and sisterhood event apparel with an elevated finish
- Everyday Alpha Phi sweatshirts and tees sisters keep in rotation
Bring your design or build it in the Design Studio, and we produce it in your colors with your letters.

87 chapter-ready styles for Alpha Phi. Each style has its own page so you can set titles and copy for your chapter.
Elegant Enough for the Gala, Built for the Whole Chapter
The Red Dress Gala sets a tone, and Alpha Phi merch often needs to feel a step more refined than a basic event tee. We build A-Phi apparel to carry that elegance into the fabrics and finishes, so a gala crewneck or a philanthropy piece reads as considered rather than thrown together.
Alpha Phi sweatshirts, shirts, and gala pieces
Your chapter can order A-Phi sweatshirts, crewnecks, hoodies, tees, and tanks, each made to order in Silver and Bordeaux or a palette built for your event. For the pieces that should feel special, stitched and sewn on letters, chenille, and applique round out every print option we offer.
Silver and Bordeaux, matched before production
Alpha Phi's colors are Silver and Bordeaux, and bordeaux is a specific deep red that drifts toward maroon or burgundy on a screen. We confirm the exact shade and proof it before production, so the bordeaux on a gala piece is the same across the whole chapter.

Public-facing heart-health events are no place for a trademark problem. We are officially licensed for Alpha Phi and built for the chapter order, not single-piece retail. How we compare for an A-Phi chapter:

Alpha Phi Merch FAQs
Yes. Arete Greek is an officially licensed vendor for Alpha Phi through Affinity, the licensing body sororities use to approve apparel producers. We can legally produce your ΑΦ letters, crest, and chapter marks, and we handle the design approval Nationals requires before printing. This matters most for the Red Dress Gala and heart-health pieces that are public-facing by design, ordering through a licensed vendor keeps those clear of trademark problems and your chapter in good standing.
A-Phi chapters order a mix shaped by their calendar: the Red Dress Gala and philanthropy events bring elevated crewnecks and event tees, while recruitment and fall drive hoodies and heavyweight sweatshirts. Everyday A-Phi tees and tanks stay in steady rotation. Because every piece is made to order, chapters usually combine several styles in one order so the whole family matches in one design while each sister picks her own fit.
Alpha Phi's colors are Silver and Bordeaux, a soft metallic paired with a deep wine red. Bordeaux is easy to render wrong on a screen, slipping toward maroon or burgundy, so we confirm the exact shade with you and proof it before production. Whether your design uses the full Silver and Bordeaux pairing or just the red, we lock it in first so the whole chapter matches rather than arriving in a range of reds.
An A-Phi order starts at just 10 pieces per design, below the 12, 24, or 25 floor most Greek vendors set. A gala committee, an exec board, or a new member class gets exactly the count it needs and nothing wasted. The free proof, Affinity licensing, Silver and Bordeaux matching, and certified production stay the same from ten pieces to two hundred, and the full order reaches one chapter address together.
Standard production takes about two weeks after proof approval, plus three to five business days to ship through DHL, FedEx, or UPS. When the Red Dress Gala, recruitment, or a reveal is close, rush production turns the order around in one week for an added fee. Since A-Phi sets its gala and recruitment dates well ahead, giving us your in-hand date upfront lets us lock in the right track before you commit.
