A LETTER FROM OUR VP PHILANTHROPY
At Alpha Chi Omega, we pride ourselves on healthy love. Whether it's the love we show our sisters or the care we pour into our philanthropy, love guides everything we do. Our commitment to Alpha Chi's national philanthropy, Domestic Violence Awareness, is rooted in the belief that everyone deserves to feel safe in their own home.
Epsilon Chi partners with the Compass Center and A Lotta Love, two local organizations dedicated to supporting survivors of domestic violence in Chapel Hill. Since 2024, we have raised over $20,000 through over 20 events that not only raise funds, but also foster connection, raise awareness, and bring our community together. From our annual Alpha Chic Thrift Storem,to Taco 'Bout It dinners featuring live music, to Pups & Pizza, to Donuts for DVA, our events find light in the darkness while opening the door to honest conversation about healthy relationships.
And our impact extends beyond campus. Through A Lotta Love, we have helped remodel over 100 shelter rooms into safe, welcoming spaces that feel like home. Just as we work to create a sense of belonging and care for each of our sisters, we are proud to extend that same care and compassion to families in the Chapel Hill community.
And that’s what sets us Alpha Chi women apart. We do this work because we care deeply about the people around us. We show up, not for recognition, but because everyone deserves to feel safe, seen, and supported.
We’re proud to stand alongside the Compass Center and A Lotta Love to break the cycle of silence surrounding domestic violence and build something better for Chapel Hill and beyond.
With love, Frankie Sayers
ROOM REMODELS
During room remodels, our sisters team up with the organization A Lotta Love in remodeling bedrooms in hopes of creating safe and comforting places for those affected by domestic violence. Each room is made to feel like home, and they are commonly filled by families and little kids! Being able to work on creating these spaces has a great affect on our sisters nad provides the opportunity to grow closer while giving back to the community. We are truly thankful for the work that Lotta and her organization, A Lotta Love, do for the women in the Chapel Hill community.
PANHEL AND IFC EVENTS
Throughout the year, we will partner with other Panhel and IFC organizations to host events on campus. In the past year this included concerts, picnics, benefit nights at local restaurants and pickleball tournaments. Most affectionately known is Greek Groove - an end of year dance competition across the Panhellenic Sororities. Last year we took home second place and a $500 donation to DVA! All of these events allow us to raise money for important causes across different organizations - while also fostering a sense of community in Chapel Hill.
FOOD FUNDRAISERS
We host two food fundraisers each year that bring our community together. In the fall, we have Alpha Cheese, featuring Chef Mark's famous grilled cheese and tomato soup. Then in the spring, we have Let's Taco 'Bout It, where Chef Mark prepares an incredible build-your-own taco bar! During these fundraisers, members of the Chapel Hill community gather at our house to share a delicious meal while engaging in meaningful conversations about the prevalence of domestic violence in our area.
SAND SLAM
Sand Slam is our very first philanthropy event of the semester! During this sand volleyball tournament, different Greek organizations on campus forms teams and compete against one another! Alpha Chi sisters are coaches for the teams and all the proceeds benefit A Lotta Love and the NC Compass Center. Sand Slam is a great way to bring UNC students together for a great cause.
