Domestic Violence Awareness 

Giving back to those around us has been a part of Alpha Chi Omega's culture since its founding. Alpha Chi's national cause is Domestic Violence Awareness (DVA) and we are so proud to stand for a cause that affects women everywhere. As both a national organization and an individual chapter, we are passionate about affecting change through philanthropic work.

Annual Awareness Campaigns
Healthy Relationships Week
The goal of Healthy Relationships Week is to foster the development of healthy relationships and, in turn, prevent domestic violence and sexual assault. The week traditionally focuses on encouraging individuals to define what love means to them through the Love Is… campaign. Healthy Relationships Week is celebrated in the month of February around Valentine’s Day.

​

Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM)
April is national Sexual Assault Awareness Month. To recognize this month, Alpha Chi Omega provides opportunities and digital resources for education and awareness initiatives focused on sexual assault prevention in partnership with RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network) and It’s On Us as a Greek Leadership Council member organization. During this month, members also support the victims and survivors of sexual assault by wearing denim, creating a jean display or hosting an event on campus with educational information to promote awareness. 
 
Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM)
DVAM is recognized nationally during the month of October. To fight against unhealthy relationships and build healthy relationships, Alpha Chi Omega highlights services for individuals and families impacted by domestic violence, educates the community about healthy relationships, and to raise awareness of the cause.
