What is the title of Chapter 3?

• A. The First Steps in Expansion
• B. The Origin of Alpha Phi
• C. Local and National Strivings
• D. The Leaven of Self-Examination

Answer: (A)

Chapter 3 centers on the beginnings of growth and expansion—the moment the organization starts extending its reach beyond its original group. The title The First Steps in Expansion fits this idea perfectly because it signals the initial move from founding to outward growth, such as establishing new chapters or broadening influence. The other titles point to different themes: an origin story would belong to an earlier part of the narrative; Local and National Strivings suggests ambitions or campaigns rather than actual expansion steps; The Leaven of Self-Examination points to internal reflection or reform, not the early outward growth.
