Alpha Chi Omega supports our national philanthropy, the Alpha Chi Omega Foundation, which supports victims of domestic violence. Locally, Alpha Chi Omega aids the Knoxville Family Justice Center.
The Knoxville Family Justice Center is a one-stop resource center for victims of domestic violence. It provides victims with everything they need to get out of an abusive situation, and move toward a better life. The Knoxville Family Justice Center is one of only 15 Family Justice Centers in the nation, so Alpha Chi Omega is very thankful to be able to work with them.
Every year Alpha Chi Omega raises money for the Family Justice Center by sponsoring Dessertfest in the fall and Paintblast in the spring. Dessertfest is an all-you-can-eat dessert buffet that takes place before a football game. Last year, Alpha Chi Omega raised $4,000 for the Family Justice Center from Dessertfest ticket sales.
Paintblast is a paintball tournament where different fraternity and sororities teams compete against each other for a prize. Last year 20 teams participated in the tournament, and Alpha Chi raised $3,800 for our philanthropy.
Alpha Chi also participates in other philanthropic
events on campus, such as:
- Take Back the Night
- Lambda Chi Alpha Watermelon Bust
- Chi Omega Dream Connection
- Alpha Gamma Rho Water Wars
- Alpha Tau Omega Viking Week
- And more!
