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).
