Philanthropy:

"To let my lyre send forth the chords of love, unselfishness, sincerity."
Celia McClure
From the Symphony of Alpha Chi Omega

Alpha Chi supports victims of domestic violence through our connections with the Eastside Domestic Violence Program. Every year, we participate in many different events to fundraise for this worthy cause. Our annual philanthropy is OKTOBERFEST, a week-long competition including a soccer tournament, Guitar Hero challenge and ice cream social. Our 2007 philanthropy was a huge success, with over 17 fraternities and sororities participating! We are happy and excited to make Walk-A-Mile a new addition to our annual OKTOBERFEST, and plan on repeating it next year!

Our 2009 philanthropy was a huge success with over 15 fraternities participating! Jillian Dickson, our walk-a-mile chair along with our philanthropy chair, Anjani Joshi are hard at work to make next year just as successful in raising awareness on campus for our philanthropy!d

Throughout the rest of the school year, Alpha Chi's participate in other fraternity and sorority philanthropies, including Sigma Chi Derby Days, Delta Tau Delta's Ms. Greek pageant, Theta Chi’s Stampede Week and many others. We love working, playing, and competing in various events as a house, and winning is the icing on the cake! Alpha Chi started this past winter quarter off to a great start by winning Delta Tau Delta’s Ms. Greek Week earning ourselves front row seats during the Ms. Greek pageant this spring! During the past few years, Alpha Chi has won Theta Chi’s Stampede Week, Delta Upsilon's Soccer Tournament and was runner-up in Phi Kappa Alpha's Pikes Peak.

Of course, the sisters of Rho Chapter also make time to volunteer in the community. We know that we can make a difference in the world by giving back, and our members volunteer at Children's Hospital, Boys and Girls Club, area food banks, homeless shelters, and more.
