Philanthropy
"To let my lyre send forth the chords of love, unselfishness, sincerity."
from the Symphony of Alpha Chi Omega
Supporting Alpha Chi and the Community
Delta Omega Delta focuses its support in three areas – the Alpha Chi Omega Foundation, the Epsilon Kappa House Corporation and Victims of Domestic Violence. In an effort to be of greater support to community and the fraternity, an element of philanthropy is woven into each of our events.
