Domestic Violence Awareness
|
Nationwide
Alpha Chi Omega has been dedicated to fighting against and bringing awareness to the issue of domestic violence since 1992, when it became our national philanthropy. Our work to address domestic violence comes in numerous forms - awareness, prevention, education, and assistance to survivors and their children. Butler University & Indianapolis
BU Alpha Chis work with The Julian Center. The Julian Center is a nonprofit organization that provides food and shelter for women and children who are survivors of domestic violence. As Alpha Chis, we strive to assist The Julian Center through frequent volunteering events, such as hosting birthday parties each month, cleaning the facilities, and sorting clothes at Thrifty Threads, which is a local thrift store where all proceeds go towards The Julian Center. On Butler University's campus, Alpha Chi Omega has a strong presence in promoting domestic violence awareness through philanthropic work and initiatives. |

The Alpha Chi Omega FoundationAdditionally, our chapter supports The Alpha Chi Omega Foundation. The Alpha Chi Omega Foundation's mission is to support the educational and philanthropic purposes of Alpha Chi Omega through effective fundraising and stewardship of financial resources. The foundation supports funding for Leadership Academy, scholarships, Women & Wisdom Mentoring, DVA education, chapter consultant training, collegiate global service education, and more.

Our Events
S'mores In 2011, we started our Fall philanthropy event, S'mores, to benefit our national philanthropy, the Alpha Chi Omega Foundation. S'mores takes place at the beginning of September, and all members of the Butler and surrounding community are welcome to join us as we roast s'mores on our front lawn!

Frisbee FlingEach fall, Alpha Chi hosts a week long event called Fling Week. During the week, we have Sundaes for DVA where individuals can buy ice cream and proceeds go directly towards The Julian Center. At the end of the week, we host an ultimate frisbee tournament in which both the Greek and non-Greek community compete in order to raise money for The Julian Center and support domestic violence awareness.
|
Take Back The NightIn 2018, we began a new spring philanthropy event "Take Back The Night," to benefit the Alpha Chi Omega Foundation and The Julian Center. With the support of the Office of Health of Education, all members of the Butler and surrounding community are welcome to join us in a campus walk for sexual assault awareness and domestic violence awareness.
