Notes of Belonging

We are Alpha Chi Omega. We are real women: diverse in our experiences, our identities and our stories. Each of us has walked a different path that brought us to our “home away from home,” and what better way to recognize our unique experiences than by sharing our Notes of Belonging?  

Together we will compose the melody of our organization, highlighting moments our members championed change and embraced their unique identities through membership in Alpha Chi Omega, all while exploring quick tips and resources to aid your learning.  

It is our hope that through Notes of Belonging, you will learn something valuable that will encourage you to foster inclusive environments where all members feel a sense of belonging.
