ALPHA EPSILON PHI

Hi! My name is Madison Lastra, and I am honored to serve as the 2026 Chapter President of Alpha Epsilon Phi at the University of Central Florida.

When I decided to go through primary recruitment, I never expected to find a chapter that would impact me in so many ways. I didn’t realize how much I needed AEPhi until I found it, and it quickly became such an important part of my college experience. I am so grateful to serve the women in this chapter who inspire me every day. Coming into AEPhi, I would not have imagined myself in a leadership position, but the people in this chapter gave me the confidence to step forward and take on more than I thought I could. I am incredibly grateful to have grown into the role I hold today and to represent a chapter that has given me so much. Throughout my time in AEPhi, I have found genuine friendships, a strong support system, and opportunities that have pushed me to grow. Our values of academics, unconditional friendship, and selfless service are not just something we talk about, but something I have seen reflected in the way our sisters show up for one another every day.
Leading a chapter of 154 women is something I feel incredibly grateful for. The women of AEPhi are driven, confident, and inspiring, and they are what make this chapter so special. More than anything, AEPhi is a place where you are able to be yourself, and I feel so lucky to call it home. I hope you are able to see what makes this sisterhood so meaningful and experience the same sense of belonging that means so much to me.
 

LML,

Madison Lastra
