With lyres and pearls, we'll always be your little girls

As a member of Alpha Chi Omega, your daughter will reap innumerable and lifelong benefits. Below are just a few of the reasons why joining Alpha Chi Omega is such a rewarding experience:
|
|
Scholarship
|
Greek letter organizations were founded on the principles of successful scholarship. Alpha Chi Omega is committed to the academic progress and achievement of all its members. We provide academic opportunities through study hours, tutoring, recognition for achievement, and personal attention. In fact, most of our sisters feel that their grades improved drastically after becoming a member of Alpha Chi Omega.

Sisterhood
|
Forming lasting friendships is an integral part of your daughter’s college experience. As a member, she will be able to bond with other women who have a variety of interests and are involved in numerous activities on campus. Alpha Chi encourages its members to be themselves and feels that each woman can contribute something different, but equally important, to our sorority. We take our role as sisters very seriously so that each member always feels welcome and will never be without someone who can help her whenever she needs it.

Leadership
|
Aside from the social aspects of the sorority, membership in Alpha Chi Omega offers women a variety of opportunities to become involved in numerous activities on campus. Our sisters are involved and hold leadership positions in a variety of clubs and organizations such as the Bradley Scout, Bradley STAR Tour Guides, St. Jude's Up 'Til Dawn, BUTV, SONAR, and numerous academic clubs.

On top of being in charge of our philanthropy in Alpha Chi, Grace holds many leadership positions on campus including student senate!
|
Service
|
The 1992 Alpha Chi Omega National Convention marked the adoption of domestic violence awareness as our national philanthropy. This issue is one we stand behind as something that affects women all over the world. Together, we work to fight against unhealthy relationships and build healthy relationships. Members serve individuals and families impacted by domestic violence through fundraising and gifts of time and talents for shelters and other service-providing organizations. Alpha Chi Omega also works to educate its own members, giving them tools to build their own healthy relationships, and to raise awareness of domestic violence by educating others on the impacts of and work being done to end it.

Anti-Hazing
|
During your daughter’s membership, she will not be asked to do anything that will harm her physically, mentally, or emotionally. This is Alpha Chi’s promise to you and your daughter. In fact, each collegiate chapter must sign a contract against hazing and demeaning activities on a yearly basis which is kept on file at Alpha Chi’s headquarters.
Alpha Chi strives to fulfill the true spirit of sisterhood, and encourage its members to develop, through personal effort, a high moral and mental standard. As beneficiaries of the heritage and history of the sorority, we expect each member to be both true to and worthy of the legacy and principles of Alpha Chi. By becoming a sister, a woman voluntarily pledges to reflect the values and standards of our sorority. This means that, once initiated, she must uphold the five membership criteria upon which her membership is based: Academic Interest, Character, Financial Responsibility, Leadership Ability, and Personal Development. Each woman is expected to bring honor and integrity to Alpha Chi by positively representing the sorority and respecting herself and others. |
