If I had to pick one that I’m most excited for it has to be GI Chi, I love being active and I am very competitive so that one seems super fun!"
"Our philanthropy means a lot to me. I sadly have friends who have been in domestic violence situations and I see the physical and mental harm that can be life long. With our philanthropy I believe we can truly change peoples lives. Domestic violence happens so often but yet many people do know how many people this truly affects. I love that out philanthropy can create long lasting positive change."
Alpha Chi was so welcoming when I went through recruitment. Even thought it was virtual it felt so fun and very put together. The talks I had with my sisters felt easy and not forced. I also felt very strongly about our philanthropy. All this together led me to go Alpha Chi and I am very grateful to be an Alpha Chi.

There is nothing more special than a powerful group of girls who know they are doing amazing things within their community."

This sisterhood has presented me with so many opportunities and has allowed me to enjoy my college experience surrounded by people who support me each and everyday."

During recruitment I talked to Morgan Scanlon about our philanthropy and how passionate Alpha Chi was with working with the Cocoon and spreading awareness for domestic violence! I knew Alpha Chi was for me because as soon as I stepped through the door I could be myself. I knew all these girls were going to become my best friends and the best sisters.

"I knew alpha chi was my home after the first round of formal recruitment! Being surrounded by a group of women who are so passionate about philanthropy is very inspiring and i wouldn’t trade it for anything. From our previous VP of Philanthropy’s speech about DVA to the countless amazing women I talked to during recruitment- Alpha Chi always felt right.
