Alpha Chi Omega is a national women's organization that enriches the lives of both its collegiate and alumnae members through lifetime opportunities for friendship, leadership, learning, and service.

The purpose of Alpha Chi Omega, as stated in the Constitution, is

• to encourage the true spirit of sisterhood,
  

• to develop through personal effort a high moral and mental standard, and
  

• to advance the appreciation and practice of fine arts among its members.

With collegiate chapters on more than 130 campuses nationwide and more than 135,000 initiated members, Alpha Chi Omega is one of the largest national women's fraternities. Our Fraternity was founded in 1885 at Depauw University in Greencastle, Indiana, by seven young women in the school of music. While a background in music is no longer a requirement for membership, Alpha Chi collegians and alumnae today continue to support and enjoy the arts.
