Alpha Chi Omega

Alpha Chi Omega was founded at DePauw University in 1885 by seven undergraduate music students. Their badge, the golden lyre, symbolizes their ties to their founding. Alpha Chi’s open motto “Together let us seek the heights,” is reflected in the sisterhood shared at chapters across the nation. Beta Sigma was honored as the top Alpha Chi chapter in the nation for six consecutive years from 2002 to 2008.

The sisters of Alpha Chi are very proud of their leadership on campus and in the community. Many sisters are involved in a variety of campus and community organizations, including Orientation Leaders, Tate Society, Order of Omega, Dawg Camp Counsleors, and Executive Board members of Relay for Life, ugaMIRACLE and HERO. Many volunteer for the Athens mentor program and Granview Nursing Home’s Adopt-a-Grandparent program. Sisters also support UGA athletics by participating in Dance Dawgs, Deck Dawgs, Hoop Girls and Diamond Darlings as well as many club sports and intramurals. Alpha Chis pride themselves for setting high academic standards and continually boast a high chapter grade point average.

Aside from campus activities, Alpha Chis are very supportive of their philanthropy, the Alpha Chi Omega Foundation which supports various charities. Alpha Chi’s annual spring philanthropy event for is a golf tournament and a silent auction. The Chapter raised more than $50,000 this year. The majority of the funds were donated to the American Cancer Society, with a smaller contribution given to Project Safe.
