Leadership

Alpha Chi Omega couldn't run without the volunteers and staff members who help our organization thrive. 

These people are dedicated to the mission, vision and future of Alpha Chi Omega, while assisting our chapters and members on a daily basis. Most importantly, they love connecting with members, whether to solve a problem or just to get to know you and your fellow sisters.

THE NATIONAL COUNCIL IS COMPOSED OF DEDICATED VOLUNTEERS WHO ARE ELECTED TO TWO-YEAR TERMS AT THE BIENNIAL CONVENTION.

These six women are the visionaries, leaders and ambassadors of Alpha Chi Omega’s past, present and future. They direct Alpha Chi Omega Fraternity, Inc., always mindful of the organization’s strategic plan. The real, strong women who serve on the National Council are initiates of chapters across the country and reflect different professions and backgrounds.
