Frequently Asked Questions
As a part of Alpha Chi Omega’s inclusion and belonging work, Alpha Chi Omega created the Keys to Service program, started in 2023 under the original program name of Social Justice Institute. The new program name, Keys to Service, more accurately describes the intended outcomes of the program and reflects Alpha Chi Omega’s history rooted in generosity, compassion and commitment to creating lasting impact in our local communities.
Keys to Service is a transformative experience for all involved that fosters growth, understanding and a commitment to supporting domestic violence survivors. Throughout the program, members will explore our key values – wisdom, devotion, achievement and commitment –and equip themselves to transform their passion for domestic violence awareness into meaningful action while promoting inclusivity and belonging.
All Alpha Chi Omega alumnae and collegians are encouraged to apply.
Participants must commit to attending and fully participating in a virtual four-week program with 75-minute sessions (Wednesdays; April 8 to April 29 at 8:15 p.m. EDT / 7:15 p.m. CDT / 6:15 p.m. MDT / 5:15 p.m. PDT).
