Volunteer Role
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. Some of our specialist teams dedicate their time to human resources, chapter relations and standards, alumnae engagement and so much more! 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.
