Upcoming Events

2022-2023 Calendar of Events coming soon!

Renew Your KOK Membership or Join Today!

We're mixing some well-loved classics, like our holiday party and our Mardi Gras Fat Tuesday event, with exciting new events (ax throwing, anyone?). KOK members enjoy a supportive community of sisters and valuable networking opportunities. Your membership dues help KOK support three local collegiate chapters--Iota Nu (UCSD), Kappa Lambda (USD) and Iota Tau (CSUSM). A portion of your dues also goes to the national organization to provide Alpha Chi Omega the resources needed for alumnae programming for all.
