    About Hope

    Hope Gray, founder of A·LIST Greek

    Hope Gray · Alpha Phi alumna · Founder, A·LIST Greek

    I was an Alpha Phi recruitment chair, then a two-term chapter president, then a Greek Woman of the Year. After college I spent a decade founding and running a top-selling sorority gift company, which meant a decade of data on which gifts women actually keep.

    I have been the Big and the Little, the older sister PNMs text the night before pref, and the one moms email the week before move-in. I built the things I would hand my own daughter.

    If something in here doesn't make sense, reply to any of my emails. I read them.

    Hope
