Camp Alphie is named for the mascot of Alpha Delta Pi. The Amarillo alumnae of this national sorority helped start Camp Alphie. Alphie is a very courageous lion who meets every day with a smile. The name Alphie comes from the first letter of the Greek alphabet, alpha. It means "new beginning." There are lots of fun outdoor activities at camp each year.
