ALPHA CHI OMEGA
A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT:
It is with great pride that I introduce you to Alpha Chi Omega, Pi Chapter here at the University of California, Berkeley!
The authentic friendships that I have built through the bond of Alpha Chi Omega has made my time at Berkeley memorable. When I first came to Berkeley, I thought I wouldn't find a group of friends that would last more than a semester. All that changed when I joined AXO! The love and excitement I felt when I was welcomed in was truly unique to this house. AXO's are some of the most determined, kindest, most fun and genuine people I have ever met. Whenever I'm having a bad day it all gets turned around when I run into an AXO on campus, or around the house. The home and family that is formed within Alpha Chi Omega is what makes me proud to represent this chapter! Thank you AXO Pi chapter for giving me the space to have a family and grow as a person. I am forever grateful!
At Alpha Chi Omega, our mission is to empower each other to grow in our leadership, academics, service, and character. Our diverse sisterhood is the core of our chapter, enabling us to share in the bond that connects the hundreds of thousands of Alpha Chi Omega women across the nation. Alpha Chi Omega strives to remain inclusive of women of all races, ethnicities, sexual orientations, religions, and identities — regardless of sex assigned at birth.
As an organization built by and for real, strong women, we are committed to empowering women both inside and outside of our sisterhood. I invite you to visit our philanthropy page to learn how Alpha Chi Omega supports survivors and raises awareness of domestic violence. Last year, our chapter raised nearly $11,000 for Ruby’s Place, a local shelter for survivors in the East Bay. We help with legal fees, medical bills, and childcare, assist survivors and their families into permanent housing, and ultimately make a tangible difference in hundreds of lives. Women supporting women is the heart of our philanthropy; because when we empower other women, we ourselves are empowered.
Alpha Chi Omega is a community of leaders dedicated to creating change; we have been since 1885, and I can assure you we are not backing down any time soon. Whether you have been an Alpha Chi for decades or are considering becoming an Alpha Chi, I hope you share my pride in this refreshing and trailblazing sisterhood! I encourage you to browse our website, and really look into the eyes of our members to see the passion, truth, and support that lives behind them.
love in the bond,
Julianna Giammona
Chapter President
