our philanthropy
Alpha Chi Omega's philanthropy is Domestic Violence Awareness.
At the heart of Alpha Chi Omega is our commitment to community involvement. Our dedication to Domestic Violence Awareness is evident in each sister's compassion and commitment to this cause. We are dedicated to creating and maintaining educational programs for victims of domestic violence on a national and community-based level., as well as the women of Alpha Chi Omega.
Our chapter also has the privilege of working with the MSU Safe Place, a program of Center for Survivors that addresses relationship violence and stalking. It is located on the campus of Michigan State University and serve students, faculty, staff, and their spouses/partners as well as non-affiliated members of Ingham County.
As Alpha Chi Omega we stand with you, we hear you, and we will listen.
volley against violence
Every year we hold our "Volley Against Violence" philanthropy event where we have fraternity members, and non greek life members compete against each other in a volleyball tournament! This is our biggest philanthropy event where we hand out purple ribbons and educate all attendees on Domestic Violence Awareness. The entrance fee helps raise money for the victims of domestic violence.
mr. alpha chi
"Mr. Alpha Chi" is another philanthropy event we hold in the fall where contestants in the fraternity life compete for the title of "Mr. Alpha Chi." The event is a talent show with judges! The proceeds of this event go directly to MSU Safe Place on MSU Campus, which is a program of Center for Survivors that addresses relationship violence and stalking.
walk a mile in her shoes
Participants in the philanthropy event will create teams, put on a pair of high heels, and run around a designated area on MSU Campus, which acts as a symbol of the struggles that survivors of domestic violence have endured and as a way to bring attention to the local resources in our area. All proceeds go to the End Domestic Violent Encounters domestic violence shelter which provides supportive services to survivors of domestic violence and stalking across the Greater Lansing Area.
denim day
Denim Day occurs on the last Wednesday of April coinciding with Sexual Assault Awareness Month. This day of action and awareness is an event in which sisters of Alpha Chi Omega wears denim to combat victim blaming and educate others about sexual violence.
