As a member of Alpha Chi Omega, your daughter will reap innumerable and lifelong benefits. Here are just a few of the reasons why becoming a member of 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 women 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 more than sixty 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 in a variety of clubs and organizations such as Orientation Leaders, Tour Guides, Community Action Program (CAP), Emerging and Collaborative Leaders, Intramural Sports, Academic Clubs, and Student Programming Board.

 

Service

AXO at UNC Charlotte is the Kappa Rho chapter, and works to help the Safe Alliance Domestic Violence Shelter of Charlotte, NC through volunteer work, events, and fundraisers. Safe Alliance assists over 20,000 people annually throughout our geographic footprint that includes offices in Cabarrus County, Charlotte, Lake Norman and Union County. They also reach thousands more through their educational and prevention programs as well as institutional advocacy efforts. Safe Alliance is a United Way of the Central Carolinas member agency. For more information, please visit our Lyre Links page for the link to Safe Alliance.

 

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.
