2021-2022 Executive Board
The Austin Alumnae executive board meets six times a year to plan a calendar of fun social outings and special events. If you have ideas for us to consider, please contact us via email at alphaphiofaustin@gmail.com
Five members of the Austin Alumnae Community attended the 73rd Biennial Alpha Phi Convention in June where we received the EPIC Alumnae Community award -- which is the best of the best! The award belongs to each of you who have paid dues, attended events, held a board position and supported the Austin Area Alumnae Community.

Samantha (Bliss) Mullin | Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute | Theta Tau | PC '13
Samantha is from the Northeast and moved to Austin after growing up in Pennsylvania and studying engineering in New York. As an Alpha Phi at Rensselaer she was active as a leader in the chapter’s Programming and Education department, and served as Panhellenic President her senior year. Samantha now works in the renewable energy industry as a software implementation engineer, and believes she owes her confidence in interpersonal and professional relationships to her time as a collegian in Alpha Phi.
Outside of work, Samantha enjoys the Austin food scene and gardening in their suburban backyard that she and her husband admit they got mostly for their pup, Willow. As our President, she hopes to engage Alpha Phis from all over who move to Austin to make it their home!
