Volunteer Roles
Volunteers can support our collegiate chapters through service on the advisory board, serving as the chapter advisor or in a positional advisor role. Ideally, each chapter would have a positional advisor for each executive board position in addition to a chapter advisor.
Volunteers serve as chapter officers for each of the local alumnae chapters. Some available roles are alumnae chapter president and treasurer, just to name a few.
Operational specialists provide support and guidance to both alumnae and collegians on specific topics of interest. The specialist teams are a great place to volunteer if you are interested in utilizing a certain skill or part of your work experience.
Alpha Chi Omega's collegiate and alumnae chapters are supported by national volunteers, assigned by geographic regions, called province alumnae chairs (PACs) or province collegiate chairs (PCCs). These essential volunteers are responsible for leading, guiding and supporting the collegiate and alumnae chapters in the province. Province officers serve a two-year term, starting in June 1 of odd years and concluding May 31 of the following odd year.
The women who serve in these prestigious national volunteer roles have the opportunity to connect, lead, grow and serve by:
- Building relationships with members and other national volunteers
- Serving as mentors to sisters and resources to the chapters they work with
- Strengthening and sharing their organizational knowledge
- Enhancing skills that apply to both their professional and personal work
- Impacting the lifelong commitment of our members to Alpha Chi Omega
Additional Volunteer Roles
As a Foundation volunteer, you provide the Alpha Chi Omega Foundation with resources necessary to engage members as donors by empowering one conversation, one experience, one moment at a time.
Our National Alumna Initiate Program (NAIP) panelists are responsible for recruiting, reviewing, selecting and educating potential alumnae members who hope to join Alpha Chi Omega. Members of the team also serve as ambassadors for NAIP by promoting the program through email, social media and person-to-person interactions.
Each collegiate chapter participates in one of Alpha Chi Omega’s rotational programs each year. Our facilitators travel to chapters and facilitates content while building relationships with chapter members during their visit.
If you are hoping to volunteer with Alpha Chi Omega but can only commit to a short-term role, there are many opportunities available. Our volunteers may provide event support at convention, facilitate Leadership Academy or review awards.
National Leadership
national Board Positions
The Alpha Chi Omega Enterprise is led by three boards of alumnae volunteers – the Fraternity National Council, the Foundation Board of Trustees and the National Housing Corporation (NHC) Board of Directors. While each board governs a different entity with a specific focus area, all boards share the need for strategic thinkers and visionary leaders.
Each of Alpha Chi Omega’s boards is seeking to add members for the upcoming terms (2026-29 for the Foundation and 2026-28 for the National Council and NHC). Board recommendation forms will open soon; watch for more information in the winter edition of The Lyre. For additional insight into board service, review these board service FAQs and/or schedule a call with a current member of one of our boards who is excited to share her experience.
