Our Team
NPC Delegation

Alpha Chi Omega belongs to the National Panhellenic Conference, the oldest and largest women’s membership organization in North America.

The National Panhellenic Conference provides support and guidance for its 26 member organizations and serves as the national voice on contemporary issues of sorority life. Founded in 1902, the Conference represents more than 4 million women at 655 college/university campuses and 4,500 local alumnae chapters in the U.S. and Canada. Each year, affiliated collegians and alumnae donate more than $5 million to worthy causes, provide $2.8 million in scholarships to women, and volunteer 500,000 hours in their communities.

The benefits to Alpha Chi members are many and varied. We gain:

  • Wider influence, representation and networking opportunities.
  • Collective interaction with university administrations.
  • Valuable recruitment resources (see, for example The Sorority Life, which tells a compelling story meant for potential new members, parents and alumnae).

Courtney Ellis
Second Alternate Delegate
Xi, University of Nebraska 

Not on her resume: I can recite the lyrics to almost any song, including bad 80s rap.
Most proud of: 

I am most proud of being able to fully embrace my path in life, with all the unexpected twists and turns.  We often tend to rehash the past and rehearse the future.  We can fret as much as we want, and it's not going to change anything.  Why not get through with grace and ease?
