California Chapter Heights & Highlights from D.C.

Lifetime members from all over the country gathered for four days to share in the bond of Alpha Chi Omega and reflect on how very special that is...regardless of background, initiating chapter, etc. It was a wonderful time to reflect on how to bring back the basics of what being a part of a values based organization really means to each of our collegiate and alumnae members. We were reminded that we should have faith in our sisters, hope for the brightest future for all including those sisters that we do not even know exist yet, and share love and appreciation for our values.


National council announced the launching of a pilot project temporarily called the Four Year Collegiate Experience. This program will assist in the personal development of collegiate members based on each individual life stage (freshman, sophomore, junior, senior). Two California chapters were fortunate enough to be a part of the pilot this year, Cal Poly SLO and UC San Diego. Get excited for the expansion of this program! Opportunity may come sooner than you think!


Last but not least many California collegiate and alumnae chapters were honored with tons of awards and recognition. Congrats to all!
