At the University of Tennessee, the members of Alpha Chi Omega are passionate about service and helping our philanthropies–national and local. Nationally, we raise awareness and funds for Domestic Violence Awareness and the Alpha Chi Foundation. Locally, we raise funds and support the women at the YWCA, located right down the road from us! Our mission as Alpha Chi's is to take a stand against domestic violence and educate, not only our members, but also the entirety of our community.
Every day is a blessing as an Alpha Chi, knowing that all of our hard work goes to such an amazing cause truly is touching. To us, knowing that one in every four women will be effected by domestic violence is unacceptable. Our goal and our desire is to shape Real Strong Women and part of being a Real Strong Woman is actively taking a stand against injustices like this. You never know who around you is affected by domestic violence, but we hope that one day we will be able to put an end to such terrible crimes. Thank you so much for taking the time to read about our cause, remember the first step to eliminating a problem is educating yourself about it. Kathryn Whittaker, Vice President of Philanthropy |
